In our sixth episode of Disrupt, HHCN speaks with Nurse NextDoor President and CEO Cathy Thorpe. In this interview, Thorpe discusses:

- Her background leading Canadian operations for The Gap, and how her experience in retail has helped her transform Nurse Next Door into a company with more unified systems and measurements for success

- The partnership with St. Joseph Health, a $6 billion health system in Southern California that has opened 44 Nurse Next Door locations and, as a result, is achieving many business goals, including the reduction of hospital readmissions

- Why Nurse Next Door is not afraid to be provocative in its sales and advertising, and why "being willing to say yes when others say no" is a key part of being a home care disruptor
