John Zweifler, MD, MPH
John Zweifler, MD, MPH is a board-certified family physician with more than 30 years of experience in medical leadership and education, as well as clinical practice caring for rural and underserved populations. He is the author of the e-books, “Tipping Health Care 2024”, “Pop Health”, and “Management for Nerds” available on Amazon.
Dr Zweifler is updating “Tipping Health Care 2024”- which explains why health care in America is clunky and expensive while providing thoughtful, constructive solutions. A soon to be available 2026 version will incorporate recent events including the groundswell of animosity towards managed care that emerged after the killing of an United Health Care executive, the fallout from Trump 2 health care policies restricting access to care for the most vulnerable in society, and the potential impact of AI on access and health care more generally. You can find a preview in his take on the 2025 Budget Bill, “Medicaid Cuts Come With High Costs” https://bsths.medium.com/medicaid-cuts-come-with-high-costs-00c4335410ba
His book, “Management for Nerds” has a different tenor. It weaves irreverent reflections on his own career with admonishments over administrative strategies to colorfully illustrate the strategic choices we make in our personal and professional lives.
Dr Zweifler, or Dr Z as he has been called on more than one occasion, is a Medical Consultant with the Fresno County Health Department where he assists in implementing practical policies that advance population health approaches to improving the health of communities and reducing health disparities by systematically addressing social drivers of health (SDOH) with an added focus on justice involved individuals.
