Episode notes

When you were originally getting going, what was the inspiration to do this as a business rather than a social good? And then ultimately making this work was actually the belief that you could bend the cost curve and actually change the outcome. I mean, it makes sense to me. The healthcare system is so broken in so many different ways that we can talk more about.

In the 53rd episode of the Logan Bartlett show, we’re joined by Dr. Toyin Ajayi, co-founder and CEO of Cityblock Health, and discuss the state of the U.S. healthcare system, out-of-control medical costs, transitioning to CEO, and diverse hiring in the workplace.
