In this episode of Healthcare On Air, recorded live on the road at Geisinger Health System, leaders across clinical strategy, innovation, and academia explore how a century-old rural health system continues to shape the future of care. From reframing autonomous driving as a public health imperative to scaling AI-driven workflow improvements and rethinking workforce development, the conversation spans rural healthcare economics, ambient intelligence, venture strategy, and the evolving role of clinicians in a technology-enabled system. Grounded in Geisinger’s legacy of bold innovation, the conversation provides a clear blueprint: solve real problems first, align people, process, and technology, and build models that strengthen both communities and care delivery.
