I am excited to work with entrepreneurs to make it a sustainable reality for clinicians and patients. I want to help build companies that harness technology and value-based strategies to make high-quality healthcare accessible to everyone. It's about more than innovation; it's about creating real, lasting change in the way we care for each and every person.
