In this episode, Tracy interviews Barclay about his experiences leading through the 2014 Ebola outbreak and how those experiences helped shape Texas Health Resource’s response to COVID-19. Tracy and Barclay explore what the post-COVID world of healthcare may look like, as well as important leadership implications for health ecosystem leaders looking to improve health and wellness for their teams, patients, and communities in this new normal.
