<p>Consumers are currently driving healthcare.</p> <p>In this episode, Larry Diamond, CEO of Mitesco and the Good Clinic, talks about how they are helping the healthcare system evolve so that consumers have a better experience and outcomes with their health.

This means personalized, complete care that is convenient and reasonably priced. He exemplifies how the Good Clinic focuses on same-day or next-day appointments that are 37 minutes on average. He talks about referrals and community-based marketing as a means to let the right customers find them. He also discusses the benefits of the Good Clinic’s nurse-practitioner-led care and how primary care can become a better business.</p> <p>Tune in to this episode to learn how the customer has the power to turn healthcare more proactive!</p> <p>Click this link to the show notes, transcript, and resources: <a href="https://outcomesrocket.health/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">outcomesrocket.health</a></p>
