Five Minutes in Healthcare - Dr. Sandeep Wadhwa

by Philip F. Jacobus, CEO | October 08, 2025

Dr. Sandeep Wadhwa

Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders.

Today I am joined by Dr. Sandeep Wadhwa, CMO of Solventum (formerly 3M Health Care), for a conversation about bed shortages in U.S. hospitals, patient readmissions, and new research that suggests the solution is more complex than simply adding more capacity.

He believes that focusing on care itself and reducing negative outcomes can free up beds more sustainably—and cost-effectively—than construction.
