In my efforts to cast a wide net for resources on health and innovation, I was recently turned onto the EY Better Innovation podcast.
Hosted by tax lawyer and EY’s Global Tax Innovation Leader Jeff Saviano, the podcast features your not-so-typically highlighted innovators; the ones that aren’t necessarily raising million in venture money or closing billion-dollar acquisition deals.
The innovators he interviews are those whom attack practical problems; people who made their mark mid-career inside their own industries.
This week’s episode is with Dr. Lucy Marcil, the founder of MyStreetCred, a social start-up dedicated to providing tax and financial services inside medical clinic waiting rooms.
Dr. Marcil leverages the enormous privilege and influence of the doctor’s office to address the social determinants of health. It is this type of synergistic thinking that is needed to provide the most high-impact health and social services for populations. You’ll hear about the genesis of this idea, the implementation reasoning behind it and how to scale a health innovation.
