Editor's Note
Welcome to the latest edition of the Social Capital Newsletter. Social Capital is an intangible asset at the heart of a new and dynamic view of success, one that is changing business and the world as we know it during one of the most difficult and turbulent times in recent history. It's a mindset that gives fresh attention to the wellbeing of each and every employee, and our coverage this week looks at one the most important underpinnings: the healthcare system. In our lead story, "How Can We Save the Private Healthcare System in America?" you'll meet leaders who are helping to bring better health to millions of Americans. You'll meet Chris Van Gorder, CEO of Scripps Health, who used the power of storytelling to orchestrate a dramatic shift in the firm's culture; Genentech CEO Alexander Hardy, who has taken a stand for preventive care; and Abbott CEO Robert Ford, who has embraced benefits designed to help everyone at the company balance work and family. Here's the latest on the Social Capital CEOs and companies who are reinventing the business world with a people-first philosophy, one innovation at a time.
