Entrepreneurs have created significant economic growth in this country--usually by creating a new product or service--or by solving a problem.
Today, healthcare seems to be an ever-escalating expense which includes an unprecedented rise in prescription drug costs. Clearly, we have problems related to our spend on healthcare--but we also need more innovative solutions to address these problems. Everyone is a stakeholder, but it makes sense that pharmacists should be part of the solution, especially when every new specialty therapy launched today seems to cost $75,000 to $150,000 annually. It's truly unsustainable! It's also hard to believe that every new drug approved by the FDA is a good return on investment for society, or for the person "writing the healthcare check."
The takeaway from this book is simple. If there is a problem facing healthcare--can't there also be a creative solution to that problem? The United States healthcare system will need more critical thinkers and problem solvers to address the many issues going forward.
The goal of this book is to inspire potential entrepreneurs out there. The book focuses on ten entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity in healthcare; built a business around it; overcame challenges; and helped solve a problem with products and/ or services--all the while creating jobs and fueling economic growth. Sure, all ten entrepreneurs started with a pharmacy degree, but it could also be anyone in healthcare or business--simply identifying an issue and building a business model around it. The book challenges the individual to think about how they could start their own business to solve a healthcare problem.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
