Catalyst Conversations is where healthcare leaders get real. Hosted by Sas Mukherjee, CEO of Catalyst Solutions, the series brings together the people reshaping the payer landscape for honest, peer-level dialogue about the issues shaping health plans today—and redefining healthcare for tomorrow. These are the candid conversations that only happen when peers sit down together.
Children can't vote. They don't earn an income. So who decides how they get healthcare?
Host Sas Mukherjee talks with Dr. Vipul Mankad, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist whose career spans the hospital bedside, a children's hospital he co-founded in Kentucky, an insurance company he helped launch, and the U.S. Senate committee that writes health policy, where he worked unpaid just to understand how the laws get made.
Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 covers Medicaid funding, genomics-enabled medicine, and remote home monitoring.
Dr. Mankad is a member of the Catalyst Solutions board and former pediatrics department chair.
Rural healthcare is at a breaking point. In this episode of Catalyst Conversations, Sas Mukherjee and healthcare leaders explore the funding, workforce, policy, and technology shifts needed to move rural health from incremental fixes to sustainable transformation.
