He serves as the lead independent director for Teleflex (TFX:NYSE). In 2022, President Biden appointed him to the National Board of Education Sciences.

In 2018, he was tied for #2 among Modern Healthcare’s “100 Most Influential Individuals,” was named Fast Company’s #21 “Most Creative People in Business” and in multiple years has been named among Becker’s Hospital Review’s “100 Great Leaders in Healthcare.” As a Distinguished Fellow of the World Economic Forum, he has spoken of the crisis in health disparities and the need for ethical standards in the digital revolution and is currently a leader in the Forum’s global impact on aging.Read Less
