In this third installment of Dartmouth Now’s “Transformational Change: Lessons in Health Care Delivery Science” series, MHCDS student U.S. Navy Commander Matt Grimes says he’ll use lessons from Dartmouth in his work trying to reduce costs as Navy medicine carries out its critical mission. Aiming to “influence positive change inside of Navy medicine,” Grimes believes that the Dartmouth program is the ideal place to figure out how health care can “not just be less expensive than it might be, but also highly effective.”
