I did a YouTube search for talks by Don Berwick. The first one I looked at was The Hubie Jones Lecture in Urban Health featuring Dr. Donald Berwick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nAs part of this year’s Global Days of Service programming, the University welcomed Dr. Donald Berwick, former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, as the guest speaker for the third-annual Hubie Jones Lecture in Urban Health.
\nDr. Berwick is the co-founder, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and has consistently been named one of the top influential healthcare leaders in the country. In his lecture, Dr. Berwick explores the urgency — and possibility — of changing healthcare in America to achieve better care, better health and lower cost through improvement.<\/p>\n

The Hubie Jones Lecture in Urban Health is an annual symposium addressing vexing health issues distinct to the urban context, featuring prominent national and international leaders toiling at the intersection of health and social justice.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I defy you to watch the video below – Don starts talking a little past 11 minutes into the video – and not come away thinking that you want this man to be your Governor, and no other candidate comes close. If you live in Massachusetts, you can actually make this happen by voting in the Democratic primary on September 9.  That’s next Tuesday.<\/p>\n
