The State of Health with Gunnar Esiason

The State of Health is the podcast where patients put healthcare decision makers, thought leaders, and policy makers in the hot seat.Hosted by Gunnar Esiason, a patient advocate living with cystic fibrosis, The State of Health gives listeners a front row seat to patient advocacy. Gunnar's three decades of surviving inside the American healthcare system has given him a front row seat to the complexities that make health care delivery so challenging. The State of Health will unravel these complexities through conversations with politicians, industry leaders, and, of course, career patients. There are two kinds of episodes.The first is “Three Questions.” The rules are simple. Gunnar challenges the guest with three questions, and then the role of interviewer will flip half way through the show. At that point Gunnar have to answer three questions about the patient experience.The other kind of episode is a “deep dive,” where Gunnar and his guests will take a close look at the fractures inside the healthcare system.Let's talk about the State of Health.
