Paul Mears leads an integrated health board across the pond in the country of Wales, part of the United Kingdom. These traditional old mining communities have–as many post industrial communities here in the States–experienced challenges as the dominant industry exited, leaving many behind and created deep social and health needs. Paul shares his vision of health with Health2049 podcast co-host Jason Helgerson, one that includes a collaborative, reactive, digitally-enhanced care system that can rise to meet these difficult challenges.
