Episode 306 - If The Walls Could Talk: The Edgewater Hospital Scandal with Todd M. Ganz and Stephani Young

The podcast series If The Walls Could Talk, created by Todd M. Ganz and Stephani Young, does a deep dive into  Chicago's Edgewater Hospital and details a history involving Medicare fraud, unnecessary surgeries, mentally ill people being bussed in from other parts of the city, embezzlement, suicides, and worse.

I had the opportunity to speak with Stephani and Todd about their experience making this podcast and how it affected them. Enjoy this episode and then check out the If The Walls Could Talk podcast (https://ifthewallscouldtalkpodcast.com/).
