On Background – A Healthcare Podcast
On Background is a deep-dive healthcare podcast designed for the industry’s architects: the policymakers, investors, and executives shaping the future of care. Hosted by health economist Stephen Parente, analyst Thom Gunderson, and medical device entrepreneur Matt Stoll, the show draws its name and spirit from a 30′ sailboat, On Background, often seen navigating the Potomac River in Washington, DC. We feature guests with firsthand experience in the halls of government—those who have navigated the realities of implementing policy and managing large-scale public programs. We move past the headlines and provide the deep context usually reserved for private boardrooms and high-level policy briefings.
