Transcript

This episode is brought to you by Optum. Healthcare doesn't always work great. If you ever waited on a refill or couldn't schedule an appointment, you get it. That's what Optum is changing. They're using data and technology to integrate patient care, pharmacy, and everything else so healthcare is connected, not complicated. That means cheaper prescriptions that are easier to get and care that looks at the whole person, how you need it. Optum is making health care work as one for everyone.
