About This Podcast

The Health Care Council of Chicago’s (HC3) core purpose is to harness the collective intelligence and resources of Chicago’s health leaders and stakeholders to drive meaningful change and positively influence the conditions that impact the health of the city’s communities. In March 2023, HC3 is proud to launch a podcast series exploring how we leverage our resources to catalyze sustainable, durable health care solutions that help achieve health equity in Chicago and beyond.


Led by David Smith, co-founder of HC3, Founder and CEO of Third Horizon Strategies (THS), and host of the Cost of Care Podcast, alongside Meghan Phillipp, Executive Director of HC3 and VP of Community Impact at THS, the HC3 Podcast will feature business leaders, health care providers, community members, and political advocates that are breaking down barriers, challenging the status quo and thinking differently to advance sustainable solutions and opportunities that build and support healthier communities.
