What is Need To Know and why does it matter?

Illness, disease, and aging aren't the only things attacking your wellness. The US healthcare system has failed to evolve like other industries, remaining fragmented and inefficient, unable to keep up with the changing needs of citizens, particularly those of Medicare age and veterans. But there is hope, and the best time to prepare is now.

In Need to Know, Dr. Darwin Hale, a decorated retired military officer with more than twenty years in the healthcare arena, presents practical and objective strategies for managing the system’s flaws based on military lessons learned. These solutions include how to:

  • Navigate a system that can cure or kill you

  • Use wellness to fight disease

  • Prepare for the future of personalized medicine

  • Arm yourself with a battle plan

You don’t have to fight alone. Need to Know cuts through the red tape so you can get the care you deserve.
