Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders, as well as innovative thinkers who are working to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the last week I've been visiting with several hospitals around the New York region. Although I was unable to conduct any interviews, I was happy to discover in my travels that things are slowly returning to normal. In fact, I never thought I'd miss rush hour traffic in the Holland Tunnel but it's a welcome change from the last year.

We have recently covered a lot of important news, so I am going to use this opportunity to share some of the stories that I find most significant. If you listen all the way to the end, you will learn something about how the world has changed in the last 100 years.


I encourage you to read our news yourself, and am providing links to these stories below so you can easily find them.
