Our hosts dig into the realities, challenges, and triumphs of caring for patients in America's safety-net hospitals. Despite having no single, universally accepted definition, safety-net hospitals share common threads: they serve high volumes of Medicaid and uninsured patients, operate with limited resources, and play an outsized role in supporting the health of vulnerable communities. Listen in as hosts discuss the policy and funding structures that shape these hospitals, and the lived experiences of surgeons working within them.
