Louis Giancola, the president and CEO of South County Hospital Healthcare System, has embarked on a new community-based strategy focusing on health and not just healthcare.

Writing in ConvergenceRI, he gives the example of how he was stopped in New Zealand for speeding as  an example of “how community efforts to solve a difficult and important health problem – one that is beyond the reach of the ‘healthcare’ system as we know it today – can make a difference.”
