Community networks for transforming health care

  Video: Marc Pierson, M.D., a senior adviser at Cambridge Management Group West, sets forth a practical program for creating networks of community health workers to help transform American healthcare. Dr. Pierson, a former emergency department physician and hospital executive, has a national reputation for innovation aimed at improving care while reducing per-patient costs. He discusses how real healthcare reform must encompass far more than just the medical sector.
