MGMA Book Club: A Conversation with Dr. Tasha Eurich

In this MGMA Women in Healthcare podcast episode, we discuss lessons in leadership, failure, perseverance, and driving transformation in healthcare. Host Adrienne Lloyd welcomes Roshy Didehban, Chief Administrative Officer of Mayo Clinic in Arizona.
