Welcome to The Care2Grow Show — a podcast dedicated to starting a national conversation about putting real care back into healthcare in America.

In this introductory episode, host Dr. Larry Arbeitman shares the heart, mission, and urgency behind Care2Grow. After more than two decades in practice, helping thousands of patients and building a highly retained, values-driven clinic, Dr. Arbeitman has seen firsthand what happens when care becomes secondary to codes, corporations, and convenience.

This episode addresses the growing compassion crisis in healthcare — where patients feel unheard, unseen, and treated like numbers rather than humans. Dr. Arbeitman explains why this crisis exists, how it affects patient outcomes, provider burnout, staff retention, and practice growth, and why care is not a "soft skill," but a proven driver of results.

You'll also learn why Care2Grow is more than a podcast — it's a movement. A movement to spotlight healthcare providers across disciplines who are leading with compassion, rebuilding trust, and creating practices where patients stay, pay, and refer because they feel genuinely cared for.

This episode sets the foundation for everything to come: conversations with chiropractors, medical doctors, therapists, dentists, and other healthcare leaders who believe that when you lead with care, everything grows.
