Improving Access to Care with a Clinic in a Box w/ Karthik Ganesh
CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered.
Outro
Closing remarks, thanks to Karthik, encouragement to subscribe, and a final reflection on the urgency of improving healthcare access.
Access to healthcare in the U.S. is broken, with millions forced to choose between essential needs and seeing a doctor. Traditional clinics are too costly to scale, and telemedicine has hit adoption limits. In this episode of CareTalk, John Driscoll sits down with Karthik Ganesh, CEO of OnMed, to discuss how OnMed’s “clinic in a box” is expanding access to care. Ganesh shares his journey across healthcare, why access has always been his passion, and how OnMed’s innovative care stations blend the trust of in-person visits with the scalability of telemedicine to address one of the nation’s most pressing healthcare challenges.
