In this episode, Dr. Eric Wei explores the vital role of public hospitals in serving vulnerable populations and dispelling the myth that they provide second-tier care. He discusses system improvements through Lean strategies, the challenges of Medicaid reliance, Bellevue’s historic impact, and the urgent need for universal access and investment in social determinants of health.
