I had a wonderful discussion with Sophie Park, one of my long-time sister mischief-makers in health care, on Digital Heath Today. We focused this time on women’s health in the COVID-19 pandemic and the different layers of inequities impacting women in the public health crisis — in particular, the economic downturn as a “She-Cession” and how those pesky social determinants of health continue to keep too many people from achieving their civil right to wellbeing.
Sophie Park of Bayer G4A talks women’s health and She-Cession with Jane

It's becoming a (beloved) annual tradition for my brilliant friend and health care design maven Amy Heymans as we re-convene for the third year (or is it the fourth?) to share our prescient tea leaves about health care in 2025. Our host in this mischief-making is the inimitable Jared Johnson, whose Healthcare Rap podcast brings must-listen-to insights and joy.
Thank you, Jared Johnson, for including me on the list of the "Top Voices of Consumer-Centered Healthcare." Your curated community includes some of my closest colleagues and friends in the field to whom I also turn for that health consumer-focused lens. The patient - consumer, caregiver, health citizen - is the primary noun in health/care and self-care is primary care. My thanks for this call-out, JJ!
Jane will deliver the keynote address at the upcoming Paradigm Management Services 2025 Innovation Summit in Nashville on 28th March. We'll focus on equitable outcomes in a changing society, addressing drivers of health, barriers to techquity, and opportunities for joyful collaborations for the health of all people.
