What does it take for a geriatrician to become a healthcare innovator impacting millions? 

In this episode, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming sits down with Dr. Michael Fang to share his journey from practicing medicine to co-founding Base10, an infection control software that saved lives in 150 nursing homes during the COVID pandemic, generating over $35M before its acquisition. He also co-founded Inosphere, impacting 7M mental health patients in the UK, Ireland, and Scotland. Now, as Chief Strategy Officer at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine and CEO of Rise Health, Dr. Fang is redefining health insurance for independent physicians and medical practices. He discusses leveraging physician skills for entrepreneurship, the unmet need for affordable health plans, and the power of community through WeCare IPA. This episode is packed with insights for physicians looking to break free from traditional practice and create scalable impact.

Three Actionable Takeaways:

  1. Leverage Your Physician Skills for Entrepreneurship – Apply your ability to process information, communicate effectively, and make quick decisions to entrepreneurial ventures. Start small, using your clinical income to fund initial projects, and don’t wait for an MBA to jump in.

  2. Explore Health Plan Solutions for Independence – If you’re an independent physician or running a small practice, investigate Rise Health’s health captive model to reduce insurance costs for you, your staff, and their families, removing barriers to starting your own practice.

  3. Join a Supportive Community – Engage with communities like WeCare IPA to access benefits like discounted specialty medications for your patients, even if you don’t need Rise Health’s insurance, to enhance your practice’s efficiency and impact.
