Do these guys really have a way to fix the "sick care" system? - Episode 143

Join Dr. Jeffrey Gladden as he speaks with Michael Brombach, Chief Operating Officer for Recuro Health. He is responsible for driving the strategy and development of Recuro’s digital health platform and products, overseeing integration, go-to-market strategy, and future product innovation. The company he founded, SupDoc, an AI-powered health platform for convenient and efficient care services, was acquired by Recuro Health earlier this year to enhance its integrated capabilities. In this episode, they talk about moving from “sick care” to healthcare, from reactive to proactive, creating the first generation of virtual care, and the key elements of a proactive, value-based, accountable care model that can keep people healthier longer and catch things earlier. Listen in to find out what this care model actually is, how it’s built, how it works, and how it changes the system.   Show notes: Dr. Gladden introduces Recuro Health, SupDoc, and Michael Brombach.
