He also discusses his new pushes into mobile pharmaceutical manufacturing and how to apply his Cost Plus Drugs lessons to surgical procedure savings.  Northwell is New York State’s largest healthcare provider and private employer, with 28 hospitals, 890 outpatient facilities and more than 16,600 affiliated physicians.

In the second part of this conversation between 20-Minute Health Talk host Chethan Sathya, MD, and Mark Cuban, they discuss the twin forces reshaping healthcare: AI and price transparency. He argues that large language models can curb online health misinformation and even augment day-to-day clinical decisions.

Along the way, he makes the case that healthcare is surprisingly easy to disrupt when you understand costs and align incentives.

These symptoms can be not only physically debilitating but also cause emotional and social issues. During a trip to her home country of Jamaica in September 2024, host Sandra Lindsay, RN, interviewed three women whose lives have been deeply impacted by uterine fibroids for years. With the country facing a large backlog in this type of surgery, these women, like so many more, were unable to get surgery, which is why Sandra organized a team of OB/GYNs to travel with her to Jamaica to treat these women at no cost. In this episode, you'll hear their stories and learn more about Northwell's collaborative efforts to provide pro bono fibroid surgeries in Jamaica. This is episode two in a four-part series documenting Northwell's partnership with Jamaica's Ministry of Health to improve women's health on the island.

When Covid-19 first hit New York City, hospitals faced unprecedented patient surges. Queens, in particular, became an epicenter, overwhelming local facilities.

His solution: load-balancing. In Part 2 of this three-part conversation, you'll hear how load balancing helped Northwell hospitals manage months-long surges and served as a model for other health systems. You'll also hear from Mangala Narasimhan, DO who, like Dr. D'Angelo, played a pivotal role in Northwell's response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

There are more Jamaicans living abroad than on the Island itself, a fact not lost on Courtney Cephas. As director of the National Healthcare Enhancement Foundation (NHEF), the philanthropic arm of Jamaica's Ministry of Health and Wellness, he wants to tap into this large and charitable community — referred to as the diaspora — to improve health care in Jamaica. In this episode of 20 Minute Health Talk, Cephas joins host Sandra Lindsay, RN, herself a member of the diaspora eager to give back, to discuss the NHEF's work, including its focus on building sustainable partnerships with organizations like Northwell Health, to address critical needs. Cephas and Lindsay detail two recent trips by Northwell clinical teams to the island, where they provided free surgeries for women suffering from uterine fibroids — one of several surgeries that have been backlogged since Covid-19, leaving hundreds desperate for a solution. These trips represent a powerful example of the diaspora's impact, bringing relief to patients while also strengthening Jamaica's healthcare system for the future. Hear how this unique collaboration is transforming lives and learn about the NHEF’s work to create a healthier future for Jamaica. Future episodes will feature the inspiring personal stories of the women whose pain, resilience, and renewed hope embody the spirit of this initiative.

Most of us have heard of kidney transplants, and maybe even know someone who's received a kidney from a living donor — typically a family member or a friend. But did you know that living donation is also possible for livers? It's an incredible procedure, and we're diving deep into this often-overlooked life-saving option. Northwell recently launched Long Island's first living donor liver transplant program, and today we're speaking with the expert leading the charge, Nabil Dagher, MD. He'll explain how this amazing procedure works – including how the liver can actually regenerate – why it's so important, and what you need to know about the growing need for organ donors across the U.S.  About Northwell Health Northwell Health is New York State’s largest healthcare provider and private employer, with 21 hospitals, 850 outpatient facilities and more than 16,600 affiliated physicians.
