Transforming Sick-Care, One Patient at a Time

November 24, 2025

Dr. Tim Flynn joins the show for a powerful conversation about what it really takes to transform a broken healthcare system.


A clinician, educator, and innovator, Tim has spent decades teaching around the world, challenging outdated models, and reminding clinicians that change starts with one encounter at a time.


In this episode, we explore:

• Why the U.S. operates a “sick-care” system — and how to shift away from it

• What “Live health to sell it” means for providers and patients

• The role of purpose-driven teaching in PT education

• Disrupting entrenched systems without losing sight of patient connection

• Lessons Tim learned early in his career teaching in the U.S. Army Baylor PT Program

• How clinicians can create meaningful change at the individual and systemic levels


Whether you’re a student, seasoned PT, or someone passionate about healthcare reform, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about your work, your patients, and your purpose.
