from Micro-Moments With Peter · host Micro Moments with Peter
In the Season 4 premiere of Micro Moments, Dr. Peter Pronovost is joined by Dr. Corey Scurlock, CEO of Equum Medical, to explore what it takes to make telemedicine work at scale without losing humanity. Corey shares how growing up in rural East Texas, and watching his hometown hospital close due to provider shortages, shaped his mission to bring care to communities regardless of geography. What began with one hospital now supports about 220 hospitals nationwide. Together, they discuss why telemedicine is not primarily a technology story it’s a people and culture story. Success depends on trust, communication, and eliminating “remote vs. bedside” thinking so teams operate as one. The conversation also highlights how tele-ICU and other virtual services can help deliver the right care in the right place at the right time and why the future won’t be built by adding beds, but by investing in people and process.
