Every month the interview is interesting and provocative. I always come away with great ideas and energy. Thank you!
Really appreciate the interviews with Eric Reinhart, Mai Pham, and Dhruv Khullar among many others. Hearing about these efforts gives me hope. Keep up the good work!
Greater integration of global perspectives would attract a broader audience.
Last fall I started working at a hospital in a support role with very little healthcare experience. Soon after I started listening to Turn on the Lights to help me understand more of my new environment. I cannot tell you how much this has helped me with background contextual understanding that my colleagues take for granted. I also feel more up to date on current healthcare challenges and opportunities which allows me to contribute more in discussions surrounding planning and policy.
