Primary Care Today

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Over the course of his storied career in emergency medicine at the University of Alberta, Dr. Louis Hugo Francescutti has made it his mission to raise awareness of public safety and to promote injury prevention. Moreover, he has also become an internationally recognized figure in preventive care, lecturing frequently on the social determinants of health. In this discussion with host Dr. Brian McDonough, Dr. Francescutti focuses on ways in which medical professionals can begin to shift treatment paradigms from "disease care" to "health care," and the enormous cost benefit this will bring to modern healthcare systems.
