In this powerhouse episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down with Dr. Mary O’Connor — a former Olympic-level rower, nationally recognized orthopedic surgeon, and trailblazer for healthcare equity. From her protest days at Yale that reshaped Title IX enforcement to leading at Mayo Clinic and reforming care delivery at Vori Health, Dr. O'Connor's journey is anything but ordinary.
We dive deep into:
- The emotional toll of missing the 1980 Olympics
- Her historic Title IX protest that made national headlines
- The realities of being a female pioneer in orthopedic surgery
- Why our healthcare payment system is fundamentally broken
- How equity, diversity, and team dynamics can transform outcomes
- The truth behind hospital incentives and why the system fails patients
- How personal values shaped her mission in fixing American healthcare
This is not just a conversation about healthcare — it's a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and reimagining what’s possible.
