The Infrastructure Powering the Future of Care with Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business

About this episode

Robin Goldsmith discusses the transformative role of connectivity in healthcare and its strategic importance for improving patient access and care delivery.

Connectivity becomes transformational in healthcare when it helps providers extend their expertise, close access gaps, and support care beyond the hospital walls. In this episode, Robin Goldsmith, Practice Leader for Healthcare and Life Sciences at Verizon Business, shares why connectivity is no longer just infrastructure. It is becoming a strategic foundation for healthcare delivery. Drawing on nearly two decades in the space, Robin explains how the pandemic exposed major gaps in access for patients without reliable devices or networks, and why that moment clarified the role telecommunications can play in healthcare transformation. He discusses the growing pressure on providers to improve patient and clinician experience while managing thin margins, workforce shortages, and rising demand for more distributed care. Robin also highlights how stronger network infrastructure, better partnerships, and new models for rural health, remote monitoring, and even robotic surgery can help health systems expand access and move care closer to patients. Tune in to learn how connectivity is helping healthcare become more responsive, more distributed, and more equitable. Resources: Connect with…
