An Online Discussion with Dr. Alejandro Badia

"Challenges and Possible Solutions for US Healthcare Delivery"


 

The Cornell Club of Miami invites you to join them for an online discussion with Dr. Alejandro Badia '85 about US healthcare industry challenges. Badia (Arts & Sciences '85 and Alpha Sigma Phi brother), MD, FACS, FRCSI is a hand and upper extremity surgeon at Badia Hand to Shoulder Center in Doral, Florida. Alejandro is no stranger to the flaws and frustrations of the U.S. healthcare system. A leading hand surgeon with a medical degree from NYU, multiple accolades, and decades of experience, Dr. Badia has spent more than a quarter-century in the trenches of U.S. healthcare. His best-selling book "Healthcare from the Trenches" is an open discussion of the failure of the U.S. healthcare system from the perspectives of its “providers” and patients—perspectives today’s healthcare debate sorely lacks.
