In this Working Healthcare episode, Meredith Hirsh teams up with Ginger Allen, a powerhouse leader redefining physician advocacy, healthcare leadership and medical alliances. Together they flip advocacy from afterthought to engine as Ginger declares 2026 the year clinicians stop burning out and start owning the business of medicine. Forget the 1926 “doctor’s wife” — Ginger is a career-minded builder rebooting state medical alliances with real programs for real dual-career families. She breaks down how state and national alliances divide the work, turn relationships into results and back local wins with dollars and data. Expect a blunt playbook on growing membership with purpose, courting sponsors without selling out and giving $500 to your PAC—because a seat at the table beats being on the menu. If you’re a healthcare professional, physician leader or policy advocate, this episode is your blueprint to move policy faster and reclaim power in modern medicine. Girl Power!
