    From Hospital Executive to Primary Care Advocate: Why Jordan Cash Left the System Behind

    Welcome back to Patients Win! In this episode, hosts Dr. Bushman and Troy sit down with a very special guest, Jordan Cash, a seasoned healthcare administrator who traded a high-powered hospital executive role for a bold new vision in patient-centered care. Together, they unpack Jordan Cash’s journey from managing operations in some of the region’s largest health systems to co-founding a direct primary care and functional medicine clinic in Arkansas. Listen in as Jordan Cash shares candid stories from years inside the healthcare “system,” why volume-based incentives and endless protocols often push the patient to the background, and what it was like to walk away from security and status in pursuit of more meaningful outcomes. The conversation digs into the challenges and rewards of putting patients, rather than paperwork, at the heart of care, and why more and more clinicians and administrators are questioning the way it's always been done. If you’ve ever wondered how healthcare could be different when the patient truly comes first, this episode is for you. Join us as we explore what happens when the system is rebuilt around real value, honest leadership, and, most importantly, helping patients win.

    Breaking Away: How One Physician Found Alignment Outside the Traditional Medical System

    Welcome to the third episode of Patients Win, where we’re taking an honest look at the realities of today’s healthcare system and the bold steps some physicians are taking to truly put patients first. Our host, Dr. Jonathan Bushman, is joined by Dr. Hayley Hudson, a physician who recognized early on that the traditional model of medicine just didn’t allow for the kind of patient-centered, whole-person care she’s passionate about. Unlike stories of burnout and doctors escaping after years in a broken system, Dr. Hayley Hudson is making a proactive move, driven by advocacy, integrity, and alignment. Together, they explore why direct primary care (DPC) is exploding nationally and how it’s bringing humanity, time, and genuine relationships back into the heart of care. From stories of early mornings, overwhelming patient panels, and inbox overload to the pivotal moment of choosing alignment over exhaustion, this conversation dives deep into what’s possible when a physician refuses to compromise their values. For patients, young doctors, and employers alike, this episode reveals how realignment in medicine leads to better access, more advocacy, and real hope. If you’ve ever wondered what changes when physicians refuse to let the system chip away at their passion or what DPC really means for those who need care the most, this episode is for you. Let’s jump in.

    Access Over Insurance: How Patients Can Finally Benefit

    Welcome back to Patients Win, the podcast where we dig deep into the reality of healthcare and explore solutions that put people, not profits, first. In today’s episode, Dr. Jonathan Bushman and Troy Reichert unpack the many ways our healthcare system, despite being filled with well-intentioned professionals, often leaves patients lost, frustrated, and facing unexpected costs. They talk candidly about barriers to care, misaligned financial incentives, and common scenarios where people do everything right, but still struggle to access necessary treatment. Through stories from the exam room and the executive boardroom, the conversation shines a light on policies that sound helpful but, in reality, can trap patients and employers alike. Most importantly, Dr. Jonathan Bushman and Troy Reichert share how primary care, local relationships, and a reimagined plan design are helping break the cycle, allowing patients to win with faster access, greater transparency, and restored trust. If you’ve ever wondered why healthcare “feels” broken and what it really takes to fix it, you won’t want to miss this honest look behind the scenes, and the innovative, human-first changes that just might finally be within reach.

    When Patients Win: Breaking the Cycle of Medical Debt and Reclaiming Healthcare

    Welcome to the very first episode of "Patients Win," where we dive deep into the realities of the American healthcare system through the eyes of those on the front lines and behind the spreadsheets. Host Todd Miller brings together Dr. Jonathan Bushman, a physician turned healthcare reformer, and Troy Reichert, a benefits strategist who’s had enough of watching numbers win while people lose. In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Bushman and Troy share personal stories that pushed them to take action, from frustrating patient encounters to seeing companies and families buckle under skyrocketing health insurance costs. Together, they dissect how complex metrics, insurance premiums, and corporate decisions can distance healthcare from its true purpose: serving the patient. You’ll hear about their partnership, the birth of Primed Healthcare, and how they’re rewriting the script to put patients and their choices first. Discover why the answer to every healthcare decision should begin and end with one question: Did the patient win? If you’re frustrated with the system or simply curious about new ways forward, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about healthcare and show you why patient advocates like Dr. Jonathan Bushman and Troy Reicher are refusing to stay silent any longer.
