🎯 Healthcare is advancing fast but is it actually improving patient outcomes or just getting more expensive and complex?

If you’re leading a clinic, managing providers, or trying to build a better healthcare system without burning out your team—this episode is for you.

📌 In this episode of All Things LOCS, hosts Dr. Dan Neissany, DPT, and Antonio Garcia sit down with Wayne Wallace, a healthcare operations leader with over 40 years of experience—from rural Alaska to large systems like Kaiser Permanente—to unpack how the industry has evolved and where it’s falling short.

They break down the shift from hands-on, grind-heavy medicine to today’s technology-driven environment, the rising cost of care, and how misaligned incentives are impacting both providers and patients. From leadership challenges and staffing shortages to burnout, toxic team members, and operational chaos, this episode highlights what it actually takes to run an effective healthcare organization today—while still planning for the future.
