242: How you should rethink your life sciences-health system partnerships

This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board expert Fanta Cherif to break down the current state of health system and life sciences partnerships, share the spectrum of collaboration options, and the strategic middle ground that is often overlooked, but can serve as a lifeline in today’s challenging economic landscape.
