Healthcare delivery has historically been very inefficient, but industry leaders are currently working to fix that. Trisha’s guest today is Dr. John Shufeldt, Founder of MeMD, a web-based virtual medical care provider that looks to make healthcare a more time and cost-efficient process for the patient. Before he founded MeMD, Dr. John founded a built NextCare, a nation-wide urgent-care-center company that worked with every sector of the healthcare industry in a customer-centric model. In the future, Dr. John hopes to pull the rest of healthcare in a direction that always puts the patient first!
