Geoffrey Roche, a member of the Population Health team at Harrisburg University and the SVP of National Health Care Practice & Workforce Partnerships at Core Education, recently completed a podcast with Shift Forward Health focused on transforming healthcare.
In the podcast, Roche shares how to address transformation in risk-averse cultures. There’s a belief that you must be a large, integrated delivery system to undergo true transformation, but Roche says he has seen it at all sizes of organizations when they stay focused on the patient. The podcast provides an opportunity for listeners to learn the importance of creating a sense of belonging, becoming an anchor institution in your community, and testing transformational ideas with those who will be impacted by it.

A regular contributor to the national dialogue on population health and health equity topics, Roche has volunteered and has been appointed to serve on numerous local, state, and national committees and taskforces, including the Health Equity Task Force of the National Infrastructure for Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities (NIMIC) initiative, the Pennsylvania Department of Health Office of Health Equity Advisory Committee, the Lebanon County Economic Recovery Taskforce Leadership Team, and more. His professional career has included over nine years in hospital administration where he served as a strategic advisor to the President and CEO and department director of various departments, including Business Development and Planning, Government Affairs, Community Health, and Public Relations, for Lehigh Valley Health Network.
