ChangeNow4Health Blogs

How do we go about fixing the nation’s health care system? Where do we start? ChangeNow4Health believes we begin with small first steps. We’re looking for changes we can confidently make in the short term, using existing resources in creative ways ... changes that will result in genuine improvement.

To jump-start this process, ChangeNow4Health has identified three initial areas of focus.  Within each area are blogs authored by three of the most influential health care bloggers. These blogs feature in-depth conversations about key ideas. These blogs include:
