We will be guided by an External Advisory Board comprised of senior leadership of prominent organizations in health care including Chief Medical Officer of CVS Health, the former head of benefits of Walmart; the CEOs of UPHS and Equity Health (the Blackstone Group); the former CEOs of Weight Watchers, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), and Henry Ford Health System; a former CMS and HHS Administrator; the President of Health Platforms at Verily; the Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health; a former National Health IT Coordinator: the Executive Vice President of Research and Development at United Health Group; the CEO at Consonance Capital; and the Founding President and former CEO of the California HealthCare Foundation. Our Center will continue to catalyze introduction of innovative ideas into health care research and will facilitate testing these ideas in field settings around the United States. The Center will continue to assist investigators in finding public or private sector partners for developing and testing ideas and will provide assistance with regulatory compliance and proper oversight of these interventions.
