What’s the difference between durability and sustainability?

At first glance, the two words seem synonymous. But in the context of healthcare for the world’s poor, the difference can mean helping the poor escape poverty—or pushing them further into it.

Our CEO Mark Arnoldy took the stage at TEDxMileHigh, where in front of thousands of people he confronts modern healthcare challenges and our idea of sustainability. He offers up a better idea—durable healthcare—a healthcare system that meets our moral aspirations and honors the dignity of the poor. Read more from him over on LinkedIn.

At Possible, solving for our patients is our number one rule. Watch the video below and learn how durability is crucial to us doing just that.
