Beyond The Walls

Megatrends, Movements and Market Disruptors Transforming American Healthcare

There is a way out of the American healthcare dilemma.

Catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. healthcare is changing rapidly and in unprecedented ways. Healthcare leaders and organizations have a choice to make. Be part of the solution or perpetuate the problem - thrive in the rapidly evolving ecosystem or become increasingly irrelevant. From a consumer perspective, our healthcare system is frustratingly complex, opaque, and unaffordable; and it continues to deliver subpar health outcomes. The experience of the past few decades has shown us that doing more of the same is not going to deliver us from this dilemma.

But, there is hope and there is a path to a better future. In his latest book, Beyond the Walls, Dr. Zeev Neuwirth offers us his uniquely curated insights into the healthcare industry. It’s an odyssey into the courageous entrepreneurs, visionary leaders, and disruptive organizations that are transforming the landscape of American healthcare.

With illuminating commentary, Dr. Neuwirth weaves together the stories of how these trailblazers are going beyond the walls of our legacy healthcare system to create a more personalized, effective, and equitable system of care - a more humane healthcare system. This book is about what’s right in American healthcare, and what we should be doing more of. It’s an inspiring and instructive “must-read” for anyone who wants better healthcare in America.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Feeding America, a nonprofit organization devoted to eliminating hunger nationwide.

I see this book as a wake up call for policy makers and healthcare leaders - to recognize the importance of getting beyond the walls, and to reduce the risks and barriers that our healthcare system imposes on those who seek to rehumanize it.
