Phil Cass: Shifting the Healthcare Paradigm
Phil Cass is making a difference in Columbus, Ohio. He describes how
shocked he was to discover that physicians have become the #1 group of
people who commit suicide in the U.S. Working with staff, he remade the
culture of the medical association, and their affiliate corporations,
into a highly participatory culture and spearheaded the creation a free
health care clinic for the uninsured. Over 5,000 Physicians now
volunteer in it. As Cass says, "I do think that a good heart, a strong
heart and a real heart, well positioned--I don't know if it can change
the world, but I know it can change the world around you."
