Senior Vice President of Population Health Susan Hawkins, M.B.A., FACHE, and Executive Vice President (retired) William Conway, M.D., discuss how the two organizations attempted to stem the flames of food insecurity’s burning platform and its detrimental role in increased hospital admissions and readmissions, emergency department visits, and medical treatments.
