Emergency and Health Care System Challenges in Our Midst

Private medical practices thrived when patients received quality care and felt valued. Employee retention was high for the same reasons. In the past, before monopolies and corporate takeovers, there were more healthcare options. However, technology has gradually eroded personal connections and compassion. People yearn for physical interaction and reassurance that they matter a fundamental aspect of respect and humanity. Staffing issues plague various industries, impacting morale and personal appreciation. In smaller businesses, employees once felt integral to success, but that sentiment has waned. Our society failed to plan adequately for the aging baby boomer population, straining the healthcare system. Short-term profit-focused thinking won't solve this problem; we need holistic, long-term solutions. Insufficient investment in healthcare resources for the sick, elderly, and those with mental illness further burdens the system. Meeting with healthcare leaders like Darin Goss and Suzie Scott shed light on these critical issues, emphasizing the need for change.
