Highway To Health Podcast

Host Jeremy Quinby has a conversation with Eva Minkoff about her Ted Talk: Five Minutes to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System. Having worked in a number of different sectors of health from Nutrition, to Researcher to Health Technology, and even as a podcast host - she sees that the key to improving care relationships is finding ways to improve human relationships, and that is is something everyone involved has a role. In our rush to solutions, we often forget that the person we're interacting with is someone else’s son or mother or sibling with a life full of experiences we know nothing about. What matters is that we find some way connect and Eva believes there are specific questions and ways to streamline this process so we allow more time for building rapport into the limitations of appointment times, with the understanding that this is the start of what could be a long relationship for all parties involved.
