This episode is a deep dive into Jerry’s key takeaways from the event, where thought leaders gathered to discuss the evolving landscape of rehab therapy.

Jerry shares his biggest insights, including the undeniable impact of AI on the healthcare industry—emphasizing that AI will replace those who don’t understand their role’s value in the broader workflow. He challenges listeners to become "AI management agents," mastering their workflows to stay ahead of automation. Another critical takeaway? The need to shift focus beyond just providers and embrace the entire care team—including patients, front desk staff, and billing specialists—to drive meaningful change in the industry.

He also reflects on the inspiring conversations he had with industry leaders like Michael Silva, Alex Bendersky, and even the legendary Stanley Paris.
