José Sánchez - Building A Healthcare Safety Net

Funding for healthcare has reached an unprecedented crossroad. But the path of Humboldt Park Health is secured through the tenacious leadership of its president, José R. Sánchez. He tells the Crisis Cast, "I wake up thinking I'm going to conquer the world." In this episode, Lissa Druss talks with Mr. Sánchez about the critical role of safety net hospitals in underserved communities. Sánchez shares just how vulnerable community hospitals are, and how his team transformed Humboldt Park Healthcare through key initiatives and fundraising. You'll learn why he's seen a drop in the stigmas around mental health, and how he has navigated the politics of healthcare. This week's Crisis Cast heroes are Michelle & Melissa Gomez, creators of Tu Casa.
