Impact Healthcare Podcast Reframing Healthcare: Unpacking Affordability, Quality, and Innovation with Dean Jargo
Lester J. Morales talks with Dean Jargo, the chief executive officer of Fair Market Health, about how employers can make healthcare more affordable and accessible.
Get a glimpse behind the scenes as Dean, a former CFO advising Fair Market Health, became its CEO after a personal experience with the marketplace platform transformed his drive and determination to bring affordable healthcare to the masses.

This episode of Impact Healthcare covers all the bases to get your company on the road to higher-quality care for a much lower price.
