Clear Thinking About Healthcare—Right Here at Home

What does a healthcare system designed for Southern Oregon actually look like when you step back from headlines and focus on real decisions?

Reimagine Healthcare: Southern Oregon is a short-form podcast produced by a local nonprofit focused on helping families, professionals, employers, and community leaders better understand how healthcare works—and how to navigate it more effectively.

In these weekly conversations, we sit down with local clinicians, healthcare operators, business owners, and community leaders to explore how healthcare decisions are made in the Rogue Valley, the Klamath Basin, and across Southern Oregon.

No hot takes. No political noise. Just practical insight rooted in local experience.

What We Explore

Each episode examines healthcare through a decision-making lens, including:

Local Access & Rural Healthcare How geography, workforce shortages, and infrastructure shape care options—and what actually improves access in rural communities.

Healthcare Costs & Tradeoffs What drives healthcare costs locally, where dollars flow, and how families and employers can think more clearly about value.

Systems, Incentives, and Ownership How governance, incentives, and organizational structure influence outcomes long before care is delivered.

Community-Led Solutions What’s working in Southern Oregon—and why locally informed approaches often outperform one-size-fits-all models.

Who This Podcast Is For

This podcast is designed for people who:

• Make healthcare decisions for themselves, their families, or their teams
• Care about long-term community health and resilience
• Want clarity—not outrage—about a complex system

Why We Do This
