Business Is Booming For This Social Entrepreneur and ‘That’s A Bad Thing’
John Hanrahan, co-founder and medical director of the People’s Health Clinic in Park City, Utah will provide 9,000 patient visits this year to uninsured members of the community. Business is absolutely booming and John says, “that’s a bad thing.”
Don’t misunderstand, he’s thrilled to do the work and proud of the service the organization offers as the primary health care provide for thousands of residents in this small, affluent resort town. His concern stems from the fact that but for this small, nonprofit organization, many of these people would go untreated–some would certainly die.
Hanrahan is also the incoming District Governor for Rotary for the district encompassing the entire state of Utah, including 46 clubs and about 1750 Rotarians. I’m not finished. He’s also the founder of the Hope Alliance, a humanitarian organization serving communities in the developing world.

What is the problem you solve and how do you solve it?
Many people living of our 2 counties do not have any health insurance. Because of their lack of insurance and access to health care, they do not receive preventive care or appropriate care for chronic conditions. We provide this care. We keep them out of the hospital and the Emergency Room. We help them lead healthier and more productive lives. We are a medical home for this group.
