What if I told you we could reduce the cost of healthcare by a third of what we currently spend as a country – without lowering the quality of care? I know we can. I aim to start a movement toward better healthcare for everyone. But I can’t do it alone.
By implementing changes like establishing baseline best practices, expanding access to care through technology, and providing the right incentives to all parties, we can save more lives while spending less. This is no fantasy – I’ve implemented programs with results like these at the healthcare systems where I’ve worked throughout my decades-long career.
It starts with listening – to each other. We can begin this journey together by having an honest and civil conversation about what’s not working in healthcare and possible solutions for the problems we face. Then, we can align on fixing the system and truly unlock human potential to effect change. Improving quality in this way inevitably leads to reduced cost, better relationships, better health, and happier lives.
My podcast, The Groves Connection, is about the conversations that unearth our common bond to fix healthcare and a shared hope for the future.
Only through these dialogues can everyone get a full picture of the complexities of the system, as well as what’s required for sustainable change. By having a wide range of guests on my podcast series, I’m hoping we can learn where the middle ground is and discover a path for the needed change.
Join me in this movement, become a part of the change, inspire others, and maybe, just maybe, we can finally end the gridlock that has bedeviled our healthcare system for too long.

Hello connectors, Alden here! Today we have a very special episode, because I’ll be interviewing somebody very important to the show: Dr.Robert Groves.
Dr. Groves is a health care veteran with 40 years of experience spanning various sectors, including private practice, start-ups, delivery systems, and insurance. As the Executive Vice President and CMO of Banner|Aetna, he's known for advancing health technology and programs that enhance access, lower costs, and streamline care. Notably, he led the formation and success of one of the first and most effective Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) at Banner Health. He is recognized for pioneering innovative health solutions such as text-based care, virtual reality for caregivers, and AI for prior authorizations, contributing to significant patient outcomes and cost savings.
His expertise makes him a respected speaker and advisor, sharing insights with major healthcare entities and hosting influential guests to this podcast to discuss all the problems and nuances of the healthcare system. He also happens to be my father.
Our conversation today covers everything from clinical decision support to the role of AI in modern healthcare, and we discuss how we might finally get rid of Prior Authorization once and for all. I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation as much as I did, but that seems unlikely because—again—he’s my dad.
Are you ready to connect?
