I served for two decades in the C-suites of regional and national healthcare organizations, yet I describe my favorite work as helping patients find services they lack, discovering new forms of advocacy, and enhancing transparency. I see Health Assurance as a fundamental formula for human thriving, meaning there are many levers for reducing friction, inefficiency, and cost while increasing innovation, collaboration, and effectiveness of care.

At AdventHealth, where I ran one of the largest hospital systems in the US, my focus included identifying the frustrations patients should never endure, and then recasting them as a set of positive experiences patients should come to expect. With my national perspective embracing people, facilities, science, technology, finance, policies, and payments, I convened the conversations necessary for advancing this mission.

I’m now President of Health Assurance Transformation Company (HATCo),  a platform created by GC to transform health systems into resilient, vibrant organizations in partnership with leading technology companies and to achieve the promise of GC’s vision for health assurance: evolving healthcare from a “sick care” system to a proactive system designed to help people stay well, and make quality care more affordable and more accessible to all. In my role, I am responsible for driving, operationalizing, and expanding HATCo Services, a network of strategic partnerships with 23+ health systems and GC portfolio companies to share best practices, provide strategic advisory services, and scale impact to effect lasting change in the U.S. healthcare industry. In addition, HATCo has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Summa Health, to create a new system of community-based, lifelong healthcare to serve as a blueprint for broader healthcare transformation in the US and beyond. 

Away from work, I get outdoors, preferably on the water or a mountain, or I travel to immerse myself in foreign cultures.
