Sesame + Costco’s Medical Weight Loss Partnership (#335)

Come for weight loss, stay for care. Michael Botta, President and Co-Founder of Sesame, discusses Sesame’s partnership with Costco, some details about their recently announced weight loss program, and what it all tells us about how consumers view their health and wellness as well as where digital health fits in.  All that, plus the Flava of the Week about Walgreens scaling back its investment in VillageMD and healthcare. Will the future of retail health trend towards partnerships, and will scaling up quickly makes sense for anyone after their latest earnings call?  This show is produced by Shift Forward Health, the consumer advisory firm that partners with you to operationalize consumer-first health.
