## Resource

In this episode, Jamie and Scott Middleton break down the chronically undervalued world of social services in healthcare — from social determinants of health and advanced care planning to mental health access, food deserts, and the billing realities that determine whether patients actually get help. The sobering through-line: a man was being wheeled toward a radiation treatment in his final hours of life because no one on his care team had started the one conversation that could have changed everything.
