Announcing the Launch of ‘PopHealth Week’

By Fred Goldstein

This week Gregg Masters (@2healthguru) and I (@fsgoldstein), along with Doug Goldstein (@eFuturist) are announcing the launch of PopHealth Week. This is a weekly Internet radio podcast (typically broadcast at 12 pm Eastern each Wednesday) with an associated website at www.pophealthweek.com. We intend to focus on all things population health. Our shows will feature 1) people, topics, news and analysis as we will 2) present the broad spectrum of what is and is not population health and 3) how it fits into the changing health and healthcare landscape, what’s working, how and by whom.

Our first show this Wednesday, May 20 will feature David Nash, MD, MBA, the Founding and Current Dean of the Jefferson School of Population Health. This show will focus on Population Health and Population Medicine.

The last Wednesday show each month will feature a roundtable discussion of recent news. So join Gregg, Doug and me as we discuss what’s happening in population health on May 27.
