Follow the Money: Hidden costs in profit-driven healthcare. A Dartmouth Healthcare Foundations Eric Eichler ’57 Foundations in Medicine & Humanities Seminar.

At the end of the day, someone has to pay for it. Bringing a medication to market is a multi-step process. A gross simplification would include the following steps: a drug needs to be created, trialed, studied, approved, priced, added to a list that is covered by insurance, manufactured to scale, distributed, prescribed, and then purchased by a patient. In this seminar, we will “follow the money” to gain a deeper understanding of where the bulk of the expenses in this process are incurred that result in the aggregate cost of care.

Join recent Dartmouth ’21 graduate and Eichler ’57 Fellow, Katy Axel as she takes us on a detailed tour of this process and highlights where the unregulated pricing exists that drives the cost endured by patients and families. Katy has been working as a data and business development analyst for TruDataRx and will be joined by founder and chairman of the company, Gregg Fairbrothers.

Gregg Fairbrothers,
Co-founder & Chairman of TruDataRx

Gregg Fairbrothers serves on the board of directors for TruDataRx. Mr. Fairbrothers recently stepped down as President and founding board member of Groups-Recover Together, a for-profit medical startup that provides affordable treatment helping people to recover from opioid addiction. Previously, Mr. Fairbrothers was the founding director of the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network, Dartmouth College, and an adjunct professor of Business Administration in entrepreneurship at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. Mr. Fairbrothers earned an MS in Geology from Rutgers University, and received his MBA from the University of Tulsa. He graduated magna cum laude with a BA in Earth Sciences from Dartmouth College.

Katy Axel, Sr. Business Development Analyst
Eichler'57 Fellow 2021

Katy is a graduate of Dartmouth College with a B.A. in biology. She was an Eichler fellow in 2020-2021! Additionally while at Dartmouth, she conducted research in conjunction with The Dartmouth Institute of Clinical Policy and Practice and participated in the biology study abroad program in Costa Rica. At TruDataRx, Katy works as a Sr. Business Development Analyst. She works closely with the sales team to manage the analytic functions of the sales process and spends time developing new product offerings. She also works with the client team to help support client analytics and reporting.

February 19th is a significant date in American history. “On this day in 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which gave the U.S. Army the authority to remove civilians from the military zones established in Washington, Oregon, and California during WWII. This led to the forced removal and incarceration of some 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast, who had to abandon their jobs, their homes, and their lives to be sent to one of ten concentration camps scattered in desolate, remote regions of the country” (Japanese American Citizens League).

No Japanese Americans were ever charged, much less convicted, of espionage or sabotage against the United States. Yet they were targeted, rounded up, and imprisoned for years, simply for having the “face of the enemy.”

Every February, the Japanese American community commemorates Executive Order 9066 as a reminder of the impact the incarceration experience has had on our families, our community, and our country. It is an opportunity to educate others on the fragility of civil liberties in times of crisis, and the importance of remaining vigilant in protecting the rights and freedoms of all.

To honor this year’s Day of Remembrance the Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement (DICE) in partnership with the Office of Alumni Engagement will host as part of the “Conversations That Matter” speaker series— a special conversation with Joseph T. Okimoto, MD D’60, MED’ 61. Dr. Okimoto will share his personal account about the Japanese American incarceration during World Work II and his dedication to preventing similar modern day human rights abuses— “A Physician’s Journey of Hope and Healing.”

Dr. Okimoto is a retired Medical Director at the Asian Counseling and Referral Service and retired Medical Director at the Eating Disorder Unit at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, Washington. This conversation will be moderated by Charmaine San Yee Chan, DO, Program Director, Designated Institutional Official, Director of Osteopathic Education at Nazareth Hospital and St. Mary Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Abre' Conner, Esq. talk on Environmental Injustice Anywhere: Your Location Impacts your Health Outcomes.
Even in 2024, Black communities continue to see a disproportionate amount of pollution in their communities. While environmental justice has been part of the lexicon regarding ways to approach environmental decision-making more intentionally, current policies can still perpetuate harm. We will explore the history of environmental justice issues and how it connects to issues that continue to impact Black communities. We will also explore why race must be considered when discussing climate change, permitting, infrastructure decisions, and more.

Stakes have never been higher for communicating healthcare information. As we witnessed during the pandemic, the way information is presented can change the illness trajectory of a person, a family, or a population. We live in a time of unprecedented access to knowledge and an overwhelming amount of information across platforms that are often challenging to navigate. Dr. Steven Woloshin has done public health research in improving the quality of communication for professional media. He trains journalists and press officers who are tasked with the complex work of writing public-facing messages. As a healthcare community, we need methods to help people become better consumers of health information.

Join Manish K. Mishra and Elizabeth Carpenter-Song as they welcome Dr. Woloshin to share how he coaches writers to be more balanced and morally anchored in context to clearly and effectively communicate to a national audience.

Please join TDI for Dr. Lavoie's talk on "What Can We Learn from Mobilizing Inuit Knowledge to Make Us Better Health Equity Researchers? The Qanuinngitsiarutiksait Program of Research."
Dr. Lavoie explains: We all have a lens, a way to see the world that is shaped by our race, gender, culture, class, upbringing, experiences. This lens shapes our sense of priorities and our responses, based on insights and blind spots. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the work accomplished through the Qanuinngitsiarutiksait program of research, and the steps undertaken to address western-informed blind spots in the pursuit of health equity for Inuit.
