Payments in Healthcare
Implementing a payments strategy that fits your organization’s needs while following strict industry requirements can be a challenge, but the right partner can help you answer key questions and make data-driven decisions.
Healthcare organizations must effectively navigate complex payments ecosystems.
Organizations must build long-term, scalable solutions.
On top of the complexities of payments, organizations must also thoroughly understand and manage their strategy within an ever-changing industry — dealing with external factors like:
- Regulatory Mandates
- Escalating Costs
- Data-Privacy Rules (HIPAA, etc.)
- Economic Changes
- An Aging Population
- Evolving & Modernizing Patient Preferences
- Increasing Numbers of Uninsured Patients

Episode 300 – Reflecting on 12 Years of Payments on Fire
2026 is a milestone year for Glenbrook as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the firm. We also find ourselves airing the 300th episode of our Payments on Fire podcast – founded by George Peabody in 2014, nurtured by Yvette Bohanan, and now continued on through the hosting efforts of most of the team.

From early episodes on digital currency and AI, to fast payments evolution and financial inclusion efforts (and how could we leave out tokenization), listen in as Bryan Derman and Jill Wurst guide you through significant moments in the podcast’s history.
