In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel Marino tackles one of healthcare’s most persistent challenges: physician burnout. Joining him are two experts who bring both clinical and research perspectives to the conversation. First, Dr. Stephen Hippler, a retired Chief Clinical Officer at OSF HealthCare, oversaw more than 1,500 physicians and advanced practice providers and has led initiatives to support provider well-being and a thriving work culture. Second, Dr. Laurence Weinzimmer, an endowed research professor at Bradley University, is a nationally recognized healthcare researcher and advisor to Fortune 100 companies.  

Together, they share insights from their latest study on “physician fortitude” examining the deeper, human roots of burnout, the organizational and cultural factors at play, and the strategies needed to drive meaningful change. Listeners will gain an understanding of why burnout persists, and what leaders can do to better support clinicians, build resilience, and improve workforce well-being over the long term.
