Signature talks

Three starting points

Each talk begins with the audience: who is in the seats, what they decide, and what they need to do differently on Monday.

i.

Health systems and the business of care

Follow the money, then follow the family.

How payment, coverage, and data decide who gets care, drawn from years inside UnitedHealthcare and DaVita and a federal seat on MEDCAC.

Best for
Health plans, health systems, employers, and associations
ii.

Health policy, governance, and equity

How decisions really get made.

Boards, budgets, and votes from someone who has cast them: six years as an elected regent and service on state and federal bodies since 2010.

Best for
Public agencies, boards, foundations, and civic and political events
iii.

What is missing from science? The rest of us

The TEDx talk, built out as a keynote.

Who gets a seat when evidence is weighed, and what changes when more people are in the room.

Best for
Universities, research funders, and innovation conferences
