Episode 13: Navigating Healthcare
On this episode we are joined by our friend, a 25 year resident of Harrison County, Randa Deaton. Randa works to improve healthcare quality, cost, and equity for a living. She speaks locally and nationally on healthcare improvement and has spoken on the high cost of healthcare to our group before. We wanted to bring her on today to help educate and empower those of us who often feel helpless navigating the healthcare system.
