]]>28Healthcare For Gen Z Women And Why It Isn’t The Same Old Same Old! With Jennifer NewellviS0FKMan6Tue, 04 Oct 2022 15:00:00 GMT2144https://altiqe.com/healthcare-for-gen-z-women-and-why-it-isnt-the-same-old-same-old-with-jennifer-newellfalseThis episode of Raising the Bar features Jennifer Newell, a young female entrepreneur whose life was majorly affected by a medical misdiagnosis. She did not let it slow her down! Instead, when she found out the right diagnosis, she did all that she could to raise awareness for the standard of healthcare that has been set for women. She talks about the challenges she faced, the perspective people have towards women, and the healthcare facilities they have readily available.


Tune into this episode to change your perspective on how healthcare is different for younger women! This episode is all fun and an eye-opener!


You might say Betty’s Co. found Jennifer first. At the age of 17, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, sending her, as an infertile person, to solo-navigate a space in healthcare that operated with pregnancy at its center. Her early exposure revealed a massive care gap. From starting their periods up to pregnancy planning, younger women simply were not getting care. Nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, women’s healthcare looked very much the same. 


Jennifer set out to create the change needed. Betty’s Co. is a product of Jennifer’s experience as a patient and as a professional, with nearly 15 years in healthcare and higher education marketing. Jennifer’s earliest years in the world of healthcare consulting were spent on the other end of the phone with hospital, health system, and medical group CEOs discussing their physician alignment challenges and how to solve them. Throughout her career, she has built and nurtured several high-performing business development, content, and product marketing teams.

Jennifer Gamboa spent her entire career working to advance the health of people and communities through 3 different corporate endeavors: Body Dynamics, Inc; Rehab Essentials; and Sustainable Health Index.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, she began her career founding Body Dynamics, Inc, an interdisciplinary clinic that integrates physical therapy and other wellness services to maximize function, prevent illness, and empower whole health. Now in it's 25th year, BDI continues to lead the way in systematically integrating plans of care to advance the health of individuals as well as working with organizations and communities to design programs that improve the health and well-being their people.

She began teaching Health and Wellness for the Physical Therapist for a wonderful on-line education company, Rehab Essentials (RE). She is now teaching Foundations in Population Health for Rehab Professionals, direct RE's Lifestyle Certificate Program, and as of September 2019, joined the RE Executive Team as their Chief Operating Officer.

She learned over the years that systematically integrating care and aligning resources can be a huge challenge in our silo-d medical environment. This led her to develop the Sustainable Health Index (SHI): initially a data intelligence system to help the practitioners and patients at BDI understand the full-context of health, health beliefs, health behaviors, and community barriers influencing outcomes.

]]>5Stewardship Is Not A Commodity With Steve WatsonHjr2kFOCgBTue, 16 Nov 2021 05:00:00 GMT1669https://altiqe.com/stewardship-is-not-a-commodity-with-steve-watson/falseIn this episode of Raising The Bar Podcast, Allison talks with Steve Watson.


Not many people in the world understand how to control a benefits plan, let alone bring together all the relevant stakeholders. Steve Watson is one of them. CFO, CHRO, and friend, I knew Steve was just the guest for our podcast at this time.


I know, I know… Plan decisions have been made and everything is being implemented now – so the timing is PERFECT! In my experience, employers don’t often take the time to explain healthcare economics to their employees. No doubt many don’t understand it themselves, thanks to our industry hiding those economics for so long – but that’s a discussion for another day.


Nevertheless, if you can design a plan that leverages all the industry's dirty little healthcare secrets to your advantage, you can create an incredible recruitment and retention tool, rather than the morass of a plan you have right now. And Steve will give you the exact prescription to do it!

Conversation Highlights:

[01:28] How to identify the actual problems of healthcare costs?

[05:35] How does Steve approach the problem of employees?

  • Many employers look at the healthcare budget as a commodity.

[08:16] How Steve portrays stewardship among his colleagues?

[11:19] What is the Employee Benefits Academy?

[15:03] What are the responsibilities of an employer?

[17:49] What conversation to have with stakeholders?

  • HR and finance relations are very important in any company.

[23:39] There should be a frank conversation with employees.

[24:15] Why is Steve trying to help a thousand employees?

[24:45] What are the Three steps to solve any problem?

 

Memorable Quotes:

“Better relationship between HR and finance is the solution to many problems."

"Your premium is their revenue."

"Do everything you can, but it should not impact your employee.”
