“We’ve been exposed!” exclaims Lindsay Resnick, executive vice president at Wunderman Thompson Health.

“COVID shined a bright light on American health care — the best and the worst: gaps in its value chain, disparities in communities, advances in technology, changes in consumer behavior, and a culture of collaboration in crisis.”

Resnick says health care consumers are wondering who’s looking out for their best interests. Here’s an excerpt from his new article:

The COVID recovery phase means making up for lost ground, recapturing missed opportunities, and preparing for changing business models and different market rules. So, what to do?
