Dinner Keynote
Fortress and Frontier in American Health Care

In speaking about the Fortress mentality and Frontier opportunities in health care, Graboyes did not hesitate to celebrate the innovation of DPC and tech advances in health care, but neither did he fail to step on toes when in came to perceived physician blind spots regarding everything from tele-medicine to nurse practitioners.
With wide ranging analysis drawing from successes in other disciplines and making startling comparisons when evaluating advancements (or the lack thereof) in other fields, Graboyes sparked a fiesty Q&A not to be missed.
Watch the video or download the MP3 at d4pcfoundation.org/dpc and be sure to read the two articles he quoted extensively in the congenial debate he described on the impact of Uber on medicine.
