Far too many women veterans are overlooked, leading to gaps in care, resources, and recognition.

In this episode brought to you by Luminary Labs, Wanda Wright, Director of the Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement at Arizona State University, shares her mission to advocate for women veterans and improve access to resources. She explains that many women do not recognize themselves as veterans, which, combined with cultural bias and lack of awareness, leads to higher rates of suicide and homelessness compared to men. Director Wright highlights the importance of asking “Have you served?” in healthcare settings and stresses that collaboration among the VA, state agencies, nonprofits, and local groups is essential to provide effective support, especially in rural areas. While progress has been made with more women joining the military and rising to leadership, she emphasizes that continued advocacy and community involvement are crucial to breaking down barriers and saving lives.

Tune in as Wanda Wright shares her powerful journey and insights on breaking barriers, advocating for women veterans, and building stronger systems of support!

Peace of mind in healthcare is just as important as access to care itself.

In this episode, Dr. David Berg, Founder and CEO of Redirect Health, contrasts his experiences with Canadian and U.S. healthcare, noting that while America offers world-class medical care, it often leaves patients without confidence or peace of mind. He explains that uncertainty about affordability and access creates anxiety long before patients enter the system. Redirect Health addresses this by offering a free entry point into care through technology, virtual access, and advocacy, while focusing on logistics, how, and where care is delivered, as the key to lowering costs. David stresses that the U.S. doesn’t lack funding; it must redirect resources toward delivering real value and peace of mind.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Huberty, CEO & founder of Fit Minded, explores how behavioral health companies at any stage can build scientific credibility without depleting their resources.

Even with insurance, nearly half of Americans delay care simply because they can’t find a doctor in their network.

In this episode, Eric Demers, CEO of Madaket Health, talks about the growing issue of healthcare access and cost in the U.S., even for insured individuals. Madaket commissioned a national survey to better understand how bad provider data impacts patients, finding that nearly half of Americans delay care because they can’t find in-network providers, especially millennials, who are more likely to seek alternative care routes. Demers explains that the root cause is outdated, inaccurate, and poorly synchronized provider data, worsened by the lack of national standards and inconsistent systems across payers and providers. Even vertically integrated health systems suffer from internal data mismatches. Madaket Health aims to fix this by acting as a data bridge between payers and providers, leveraging its platform, used by over 80% of U.S. providers, to keep information up-to-date and aligned, improving directories and patient access to care.

Tune in to learn how broken provider data is quietly undermining healthcare access and what’s being done to fix it!
