Episode Description

What does it take to keep a community hospital's doors open? According to StartUp Health community member Josh DeTillio, CEO of Access TeleCare, the answer often comes down to one thing: access to specialists.

In this podcast episode, DeTillio joins StartUp Health co-founder Unity Stoakes to trace his own journey from hospital COO to telemedicine believer, and to explain why the virtual hospital model he's championing isn't a workaround – it's a better system.

They dig into the realities of physician shortages, the financial fragility facing hundreds of community hospitals, and how Access TeleCare's eight-specialty platform is helping facilities across all 50 states retain patients and stay viable. Plus: a look at the measured AI strategy the company is building as consult volume continues to grow.
