## Resource

Every so often, something comes along that makes you stop and ask: why didn't we always do it this way? Imagine this: your mother wakes up and is struggling to breathe. Her heart condition is flaring. You face the same gut-wrenching choice millions of families face every year — rush her to a crowded emergency room, sit under fluorescent lights for six hours, expose her to infections, disorient her with the chaos of the hospital — or pray it passes on its own. For too long, there was no third option. But now.....one man with a vision is changing things! Today's guest has dedicated the last two-and-a-half decades to creating a third option. And what a third option it is. In November 2023, LON HECHT joined Care2U as Chief Growth Officer. Nine months later, he was named CEO. Care2U is not your ordinary healthcare company. It was founded by emergency room physicians who had watched seniors — your parents, your grandparents — spend hours waiting in overcrowded ERs for conditions that, with the right tools and the right team, could be treated safely, effectively, and compassionately… at home. LON and I spoke about 'The Hidden Danger of Hospitals — and the Better Alternative Seniors Deserve.' I promise you...your mind will be opened to the future of medical care as we know it. Lon can be found on numerous podcast shows. He is on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lon-hecht-08923b2/. His website is: Website care2u.com . You can email Lon at: lonhecht@yahoo.com.
