In this episode of Healthcare Champions, host Sam Meers from BarkleyOKRP sits down with Stuart Rosenblum, a transformative leader at Elevance Health, where he’s known as an “intrapreneur” with a talent for driving efficiencies and pioneering cost-saving strategies. Stuart shares his unique journey from the world of infomercials to an executive role in a Fortune 20 healthcare giant, where he is empowered to explore innovative solutions that reimagine the healthcare industry’s complex payer models.

Stuart’s diverse background has equipped him with a fresh perspective on traditional healthcare operations. He shares concrete examples of his cost-saving initiatives, such as reimagining the print and mailing services that drive up healthcare costs, and nurturing relationships with suppliers who prioritize value and innovation. By connecting Elevance’s large-scale resources with the needs of smaller health plans, Stuart’s work allows healthcare providers to maximize their budgets for patient care. His methods highlight the significant impact that incremental changes and relationship-building can have on healthcare’s bottom line.

Beyond his career, Stuart shares his personal wellness framework, the Balance Equation™, born from his journey through burnout, pivotal career moments, and a search for deeper purpose and fulfillment. Designed to help individuals find harmony among work, health, and personal growth, the Balance Equation™ provides a roadmap to achieve harmony between work, health, and personal growth. Detailed in his new book, this philosophy champions the power of “micro-moves”—small, consistent actions that can compound into profound life changes, benefiting not only individual resilience but also fostering a healthier workplace culture.

Join us for an inspiring episode that explores healthcare transformation, personal resilience, and the small steps that can spark industry-wide impact.
