Getting started
An audio welcome and invitation to explore
Thanks for visiting uncommon good — and welcome. This platform is home to essays and podcast conversations that explore what works in health care…and what doesn’t. We’ll use everyday metaphors to challenge traditional thinking and question intuition. Our mission is to think differently about unmet needs, including the medical manifestations of the social determinants of health. And in the end, to leave things just a little better than we found them.
Want to know what this platform is, what it stands for, and why it exists?
Don’t read. Listen.
In just over two minutes, I’ll explain what uncommon good is and what I hope you’ll find here.

A Missed Goodbye
It occurred to me that some of you reading these essays might wonder why I write so much about what’s wrong with health care. The short answer is because I’m so sure we can do better. The longer answer is more personal.
If this feels like home, I hope you’ll subscribe. And thanks again for joining us.
