Tune in for new conversations on making health care work better

Until it’s Fixed Season 3 Trailer

The past few years have shown us that our health is everything, and taking care of it goes beyond doctor's appointments and insurance. Finding and getting the care and support we need is so important, but this doesn't always happen. 

This is an underlying structural issue that we have to solve for. 

Right now, so much of what we do is out of the reach of the common person. 

We're finally talking more openly about how things like gender, sexual orientation, race and income, affect our health. We're all different and we need care that meets us where we're at. 

I think the first bright spot is the fact that we're actually having a transparent and honest discussion that brings with it, vulnerability and authenticity.

Hi everyone,
Welcome back to season three of Until it's Fixed, a podcast from Optum.

I'm Callie Chamberlain, a practicing birth doula, a death doula, a social responsibility leader, and someone who deeply believes in communal health and healing.

And I'm Kenny Poole, a physician and healthcare leader. I'm excited to join Callie as we go even deeper into the toughest issues in healthcare, and the changes underway to fix them.

We have the opportunity to rethink how we deliver healthcare, and should be really open to a wide variety of possibilities. 

I'm excited to be back for a third season. Every time we sit down with our guests, I learn something new. 

Me too. I'm really looking forward to these conversations. We all deserve to live our healthiest lives, and we can't leave anyone behind on the journey to get there. 

It takes rallying everyone to be involved.

Join us for season three of Until it's Fixed. Coming soon to your favorite podcast app, or visit optum.com/podcast.

Listen to what we're talking about in Season 3

What do you wish health care looked like for you, your family and community?

You may feel getting the support needed to care for your health is complicated and confusing. Or that it doesn’t fit your lifestyle and consider what’s really impacting your health.

In Season 3 of “Until It’s Fixed” we’re having deeper conversations about opportunities to improve how health care works- with medical experts, thought leaders, advocates and people like you and me. We’ll look at the big picture - how everything is connected. From gender, race and income to where you are born, live, learn and work, there’s so much to consider when it comes to your health and well-being.

It’s time to do better. Join us as we explore the changes underway to make health care simpler and more effective for everyone. Because we all deserve the opportunity to live our healthiest life.
