Interview with Carrum Health CMO, Dr. Randy Hawkins

The end of the pandemic is the start of a perfect storm for surgical overutilization. Patients who postponed surgeries are having them now, other patients got sicker or fatter during the lockdowns, and surgeons are looking to recoup their losses by doing more cutting.

Today’s guest, Dr. Randy Hawkins, is here to discuss what his company, Carrum Health is doing to eliminate unneeded surgeries and offer written guarantees on the necessary procedures that are performed in their centers of excellence.

He’ll also share the tale of how he relieved his brother as a medical officer in the US Navy during the Gulf War, and why Carrum’s Chief Operating Officer --who didn’t serve-- gave him a book on naval leadership.
