In this episode, Blake sits down with Charlie Martin, a legendary figure in healthcare who has spent six decades turning around struggling hospitals, and Devin Carty from Martin Ventures.
Charlie has seen it all — from the early days of for-profit hospital chains to the modern era of health system consolidation. He shares war stories from turning around hospitals that everyone else had given up on, and explains why the fundamentals of a good turnaround haven’t changed in 60 years.
Devin Carty joins to discuss where Martin Ventures is placing its bets in healthcare technology and services, and how the firm’s deep operational experience gives them a unique lens on what actually works in healthcare innovation.
They also dive into the state of healthcare venture capital, why so many health tech startups fail to gain traction with health systems, and what Charlie would tell a young person entering the healthcare industry today.
