The goal

The goal is to improve how healthcare is delivered, supported and accessed while inspiring leaders to see what is possible.

Questions in Focus

The questions leaders cannot answer from one vantage point.

Each episode examines a consequential question through experience, evidence and the realities of execution.

Technology + AI

Which AI investments are producing enough value to survive the next budget cycle?

Separating meaningful transformation from expensive experimentation.

Workforce

What should healthcare organizations stop doing to create workforce capacity?

Redesigning roles, workflows and technology around the work that matters most.

Access + Innovation

Who pays when breakthrough therapies work but the economics do not?

Examining how access, affordability and incentives determine who benefits from innovation.

Care Delivery

Can care move beyond the hospital without fragmenting the patient experience?

Testing new sites and models of care against clinical, operational and human outcomes.

Growth + Sustainability

Which growth strategies strengthen the mission rather than distract from it?

Looking beyond cost cutting to durable clinical and financial value.

LeeAnn Miller

FORMER HEALTH-SYSTEM CHIEF PHARMACY OFFICER · ENTERPRISE OPERATOR · HEALTHCARE STRATEGIST

"I believe our strongest solutions emerge when people across healthcare come together and see the problem through the eyes of the consumer and the patient."

LeeAnn brings more than two decades of experience spanning clinical care, health-system operations, growth, technology and enterprise strategy. As a health-system Chief Pharmacy Officer, she led an enterprise across five hospitals, more than 1,200 team members and approximately $2 billion in annual revenue.

Her commitment to expanding access is personal. LeeAnn grew up in West Virginia and lost her mother while she was in pharmacy school. She has often wondered whether better access to care might have changed her mother's outcome. That experience has remained at the heart of her work and her passion for helping more people receive the quality care they need.
