How does a tech-enabled workforce of clinical students create more human-centric healthcare experiences? I got to spotlight the inspiring work journey of Eric Alvarez, Founder and CEO of Grapefruit Health, an organization leading the revolution in the delivery of healthcare services. Eric shares the motivations, challenges, and successes behind Grapefruit Health, highlighting the importance of progress rather than perfection. By leveraging the power of healthcare administration, education, and entrepreneurship, Grapefruit Health has found a unique solution to address the massive staffing shortage in healthcare.
By recruiting, training, and managing clinical students to perform remote work for healthcare organizations, Grapefruit Health aims to make healthcare a more human-centered experience.
