Dr. Urvashi Bhatnagar’s (unexpected) solutions


Listen Later

“I would encourage people to think about how we think about risk in our daily lives. We have more risk when we cross the street or drive a car than we do with the COVID vaccine.”


Dr. Urvashi Bhatnagar is a healthcare executive whose career spans clinical care, research, and advocacy. She’s also the co-author of the new book “The Sustainability Scorecard: How To Implement And Profit From Unexpected Solutions.” Dr. Urvashi focuses on bringing new and innovative solutions to market that advance access to care, clinical outcomes and affect total cost of care. With a Yale MBA and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Boston University, Dr. Urvashi is a Certified Clinical Instructor for DPT students and has served as faculty during the American Congress of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in 2021, and has served as an invited speaker at the United Nations in 2020. And since much to the dismay of our parents, we are still NOT doctors, and much to the dismay of...everyone, we are still in a global pandemic, the US Department of Health & Human Services asked us enroll a healthcare professional — about the importance of getting your latest COVID vaccine as we go into the holiday season. They’re here just in time to make those family gatherings safer and extra special. SO While we definitely had a good chat with Dr. URVASHI about COVID prevention and how it relates to her work and experience every day, we also get to go beyond her day job, for a bit to talk talk about her work in practical, scalable solutions to impact climate change - and what it means for chocolate and gardening - for the uncle and auntie in each of us..
