Courageous Conversation with Dr. Don Berwick on Health in US Today

Welcome back, dear colleague!

At a moment when the U.S. faces deep political division, threats to democratic norms, and widening health disparities, few voices are as clear and courageous as Dr. Don Berwick.

Dr. Berwick is the former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. He pioneered groundbreaking approaches to improving quality and safety in health systems around the world. Throughout his career, he has not only shaped policy but has also challenged the profession to rethink what it means to put patients and communities at the center of care.

What makes Dr. Berwick relevant now is his willingness to speak truth against the prevailing paradigms of medicine and policy. From calling out the corrosive effects of greed in the U.S. health system, to insisting that health cannot be separated from justice and democracy, he consistently urges clinicians and leaders to confront uncomfortable realities.

• What today’s political and economic realities mean for patient care.

• The responsibilities of clinicians and health leaders in times of upheaval.

• How to challenge entrenched interests without losing focus on patients.
