Last week we held our inaugural Digital Consortium Leadership Retreat in the bucolic Hudson Valley region of New York. It was an inspiring opportunity to share ideas, form and rekindle relationships, and plant the seeds for greater collaboration across the Digital Consortium’s founding membership. We were invigorated by the conversations around catalyzing bold leadership, forming trusted partnerships, and driving innovation that enables health systems to thrive and invest in their missions. A special thank you to our keynote speakers for their generosity of time and insights, namely Chelsea Clinton, Michael Dowling, David Feinberg, MD, Bill George, John Noseworthy, M.D., and Dean Ornish, M.D..

The healthcare industry is on the cusp of a revolutionary shift, propelled by rapid advancements in AI. With the advent of large language models, we are transitioning from merely anticipating inevitable changes to actively shaping a new era of proactive healthcare. At this inflection point, we are pleased to share Aegis Ventures’ whitepaper, Healthcare at a Tipping Point: Observations on the Impact of AI, which outlines five initial theses on how AI can be harnessed to drive innovation. https://lnkd.in/eXB4yg_C John Beadle, Murray Brozinsky, John Noseworthy, M.D., David Feinberg, MD

Today, we are excited to welcome Molly O'Neill to Aegis as our Chief Strategic Partnerships Officer.
