Today, I’m joined by Nick Aubin, co-founder and CEO of Commons Clinic.

Building “the next Mayo Clinic,” the SoCal-based company’s whole-body preventative care programs combine orthopedics, functional diagnostics, and a state-of-the-art surgery center.

In this episode, we discuss how vertical integration can improve multispecialty care.

We also cover:

  • Leveraging robotics and minimally invasive procedures to reduce hospital stays.
  • Offering physicians equity partnerships instead of traditional employment.
  • How whole-body health assessments can boost prevention.
