The annual Fierce 50 gala was a success!

I loved co-hosting this year with @aylaellison.bsky.social. It’s always such an inspiring night honoring 50 impressive people in healthcare & life sciences.

The highlight was hearing their acceptance speeches and what gets them out of bed in the morning!

Tallied up some fun personal stats for '24:

300+ interviews done (assuming an average of 30 mins per interview, that's at least 9k mins, or 150 hours!!)

141 stories published

26 podcast episodes recorded

6 conferences attended

Countless sweats sweated, and a partridge in a pear tree 😂

75+ Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

The letter marks the first time in recent memory that Nobel laureates have banded together against a Cabinet choice.

A focus at this year's IHI Forum is compassion as a key part of quality.

Outgoing IHI CEO Kedar Mate and Press Ganey CMO Thomas Lee gave keynotes centered around social capital, what it is and how to foster it in an increasingly individualistic society:
