Introducing: Charting the Future with PCC, A New Podcast!

The world of pediatrics is evolving faster than ever. From shifting healthcare policies to technological innovations in electronic health records, pediatric practices face both unprecedented challenges and exciting opportunities. At PCC, we believe the future of pediatrics is best shaped by listening to those who live it every day. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our new podcast, Charting the Future with PCC, hosted by Chip Hart.

A Conversation About Real Stories and Real Solutions

Unlike other industry podcasts that focus solely on trends or data, Charting the Future with PCC adds a storytelling approach that values community as much as it values creating strong pediatric healthcare teams and leaders. Each episode dives into the experiences of real pediatricians – most of them independent – showcasing their triumphs, challenges, and innovative solutions. By sharing these narratives, the podcast not only highlights the human side of pediatric medicine, but also offers actionable insights that other practices can apply.

Listeners will hear firsthand how pediatricians are navigating complex issues, from managing growing practices to integrating new technologies, all while delivering compassionate, high-quality care to their families. The stories are relatable, the lessons practical, and the hope palpable.

A Platform for Experts, Policymakers, and Visionaries

The podcast doesn’t stop at clinical experiences. Chip Hart brings in a diverse roster of guests, including industry experts and policymakers, to discuss the broader context of pediatric care. Past guests include Dr. Nneka Unachukwu, Dr. Amaka Nnamani, Dr. Anna Groebe, Dr. Eric Arzubi, Dr. Hiral Lavania, and Dr. Normarie Albino – each bringing a unique perspective on how pediatrics can evolve to meet tomorrow’s needs. These conversations explore critical questions: Where is pediatric medicine headed? How can we achieve a shared vision for the future? What challenges must we overcome, and how?

By including voices from different corners of the healthcare ecosystem, Charting the Future with PCC creates a richer, more informed conversation, connecting pediatricians with insights that can influence both policy and practice.

For Leaders, By Leaders

Who should listen? This podcast is designed for decision-makers in pediatric medicine: administrators, pediatricians, and policymakers interested in the future of child health. If you lead a practice or have a stake in the future of pediatric care, this is the show for you. Chip’s conversations aren’t scripted – these are real conversations recorded to continue the narrative of excellent pediatric care, whether you’re tuning in on your commute, during a quiet afternoon at the office, or while taking a moment to reflect on the big picture. He enters each exchange with humor, wit, and hope to better understand his guests’ work and their unique goals for medicine.
