October 25: Matt Gutwein, Health & Hospital Corp. Marion County
Population Health: Rather than Treating People After They Are Sick, How Can Hospitals Better Prevent People from Becoming Sick in the First Place?
The United States’ health care system is the greatest in the world at treating illness and disease. But the overall health of the United States’ population lags behind most industrialized nations. Hospitals historically have not been effective at keeping people from becoming sick in the first place. Gutwein will discuss why this is the case and will offer simple examples of how hospitals and doctors can prevent illness, improve the health of patients and lower the overall cost of healthcare for everyone.
Matthew R. Gutwein is the president and chief executive officer of the Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County (“HHC”), a position he has held since 2003. HHC is comprised of Eskenazi Health, Eskenazi Health Foundation, Marion County Public Health Department, Indianapolis Emergency Medical Service, HHC Division of Long Term Care, Eskenazi Medical Group, Lions Insurance Company and MDWise Insurance Company.
