Episode 14 - How to Disrupt Runaway Healthcare Costs with Jeff Bak

Описание: How do you stop reacting to double-digit healthcare renewals and start playing offense? You stop negotiating the scoreboard and start redesigning the game itself.

This week, Misty sits down with Jeff Bak, CEO and President of Imagine360. With over 30 years in the healthcare arena, Jeff is a seasoned executive who has seen the system from every angle—from global practice leadership to spearheading the charge for self-funded employers.
