About this listen

This interview-based podcast focuses on how innovation in healthcare is showing up for the benefit of consumers, regular people, anyone who is seeking a way to be healthier and better manage their health. Finally healthcare is being designed "for the people".

We seek to shine a light on the movers, shakers, and innovators across the industry. This includes everything from the tech and digital-based startups providing care and services, to the academics and the medical researchers changing healthcare from inside our educational institutions, to the clinical, biomedical, and medical equipment organizations bringing innovation to our homes, phones and doctor’s offices. It gives a platform to those who are helping to change how healthcare is accessed, delivered, and experienced, for so many Americans.

And equally as important, to truly add the human side of healthcare to this podcast, we cover alot of human stories about real people and their experiences on their healthcare journeys.

Jeremy and Heather will cover some hot healthcare topics as they arise at the top of some of our pre-recorded episodes. Have an interesting topic or new consumer focused healthcare product, program or service you think we should cover? Let us know.

What's especially unique about this podcast is that you have a healthcare industry veteran coupled with your average Joe American to bring levity, authenticity, and a "real" human perspective to these conversations so they don't get too clinical, to in the weeds or complex that you have no idea what we're talking about.

    In this episode of the Healthcare Uprising podcast, Christopher Ajluni discusses his congressional campaign in Arizona’s District 1 and the pressing issues surrounding healthcare policy. He emphasizes the need for a new political approach that prioritizes voters over donors, advocates for universal healthcare to address the financial burdens faced by Americans, the challenges of elder care and the systemic issues within the healthcare system, and highlights the importance of addressing social determinants of health. Ajluni’s insights reflect a growing urgency for change in healthcare policy and representation for independent voters. We also discuss the critical issues surrounding healthcare access, women's rights, and the influence of money in politics, emphasizing the need for systemic change to ensure equitable healthcare for all, regardless of socioeconomic status. The conversation highlights the importance of young leaders in politics and the necessity of political accountability through term limits. Candidate Ajluni calls for community engagement and collective action to address these pressing issues and advocates for a government that serves the people rather than special interests.
