Documenting stories from former clinicians, innovators, and educators in government-run health systems and agencies.
Why highlight government-run healthcare agencies & institutions?
During my career, I was immersed in government-run health systems; I trained as a physician in a veterans hospital, a public safety-net institution, and a state university academic medical center. My public health orientation developed through work at the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and while leading a research unit for Cook County's health system. I had the privilege of collaborating with many mission-driven professionals dedicated to promoting the health of all people.
I embraced the advice to surround yourself with great and humble people—I found those individuals in government-run systems. In these interviews, I document the inspiring stories of those who built or led impactful programs focused on the mission.
They inspired countless individuals and I expect that they will inspire you, too.
