Mark Masselli

Dr. Simon, welcome to Conversations on Healthcare.

Thanks very much for having me, Mark and Margaret.

Oh, that's great.

You know, we want to have a conversation with you about all of your research interests, but let's start with the economics of GLP-1 medication.

Thank you so much for that question.

That's probably my most favorite project, Mark.

We started this project before there was social media.

When we started, the vast majority of health centers actually didn't even have websites.

Because if you're a journalist, if you're a policymaker, if you're a reporter, if you're someone who wants to understand that your phenomenal health center that's serving a community in Connecticut may not be exactly replicated in New York City or in Marfa, Texas, but has a sister organization that focuses on its community.

You'd have to go look at 1,500 health centers.

And what we've tried to do is put that information in one place so that a journalist who says, hey, Margaret, hey, Mark, we really think your health center's extraordinary.

Are there more like you in Connecticut? What about somewhere else? I live in South Carolina.
