Solutions to the Health Care Crisis Available to Families Now

On this Life Happens, we focus on solutions to the current problems you and your family encounter with hospitals, rehabilitation facilities and home care agencies. Costs are soaring. Health care providers are stretched thin. Home care aides are in short supply. Why can’t we count on getting quality and affordable care? How can we fix this crisis? On the show, Lou Pierro welcomes two guests who are uniquely positioned to address it.

Dr. Matthew Miles is a Board-certified Emergency Medicine physician who served as Chief Medical Officer of the Innovative Health Alliance of New York, a clinically-integrated network and Accountable Care Organization (ACO) spanning three health systems, and was Regional Medical Director with Landmark Health. He will share his experience in creating and implementing clinical delivery models for complex patients, and his work as an innovator in the health care field through technology.

Lou will also speak with Alan Evans, Senior Technology Advisor at ApolloCare, LLC, a business that integrates home care coordination with connected home health technology. His work is devoted to providing seniors, families and caregivers unique opportunities to live independently in their own home.

Lou, Matthew and Alan will describe innovations taking place in the health care marketplace that are available right now, including a new “App” powered by VivaLynx that is transforming care and communication in the home.
