Welcome to Relocalizing Health! In this episode, Dave Chase sits down with Claire Brockbank, a trailblazer in transforming healthcare costs and outcomes through community-driven strategies. From helping Colorado’s mountain towns slash exorbitant insurance prices with Peak Health Alliance to leading one of the largest union health funds in the nation at 32BJ, Claire Brockbank has proven that local communities, armed with the right data and determination, can take back control from hospital monopolies and insurance giants.
Together, they explore the power of direct contracting, the critical role of transparency and accountability, and innovative programs like 32BJ’s $40 baby initiative.
Listen in for practical lessons and inspiration on how you, your organization, or your community can challenge the status quo and drive real, measurable healthcare change.
