Health Care Motivational Speaker/Words of Wisdom for Graduates

Build a More Efficient Healthcare System—Physician Style

Health insurance premiums continue to soar. Waste is abundant. Millions go uninsured or underinsured. Who better to offer some practical suggestions on how to turn the ship around than those who know medicine best? Physicians!

In his exciting and thought-provoking presentation, medical journalist and author Steve Busalacchi discusses what he’s learned after extensive interviews with several dozen notable physicians featured in his new book, White Coat Wisdom: Extraordinary doctors talk about what they do, how they got there and why medicine is so much more than a job.

Steve discusses:

 Poor listening skills and how they cost the healthcare system a small fortune
 Emergency rooms that unnecessarily bleed red ink
 Costly end-of-life care that serves nobody well
 Society’s failure to address preventable healthcare conditions

 Have a new appreciation for story-telling that makes an impact
 Creatively address problems to be more effective
 Experience renewed vigor for improving health care delivery
