  • Summary

  • Health Fail is a podcast exploring the Fails in healthcare, of which there are many. Through conversations with some of the top healthcare minds in government, for-profit and non-profit, we’ll discuss failures from the highly publicized to the never before told stories of failures that birthed healthcare transformation. As Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Health Fail is hosted by Zac Jiwa, CEO of The Karis Group. He has spent the last 20 years failing, and in so doing, changing the landscape of the healthcare world as we know it. Join Zac and co-host Steven Cutbirth as they celebrate the many health fails that have driven and are driving the next wave of healthcare transformation.
