Earlier this month, the Health Care Transformation Hub hosted a convening with Axios featuring guest speakers Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Representative David Schweikert, and former Director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation Liz Fowler.

They come with radically different ideologies and political affiliations. But what struck me most was what they had in common: They all agree our current system isn’t working for patients. They also agreed that we have the data, tools and models to fix it.

It’s critical that we keep having these discussions — drawing from a wide range of perspectives with a common goal in mind: making health care better for the people that need it.

As 2025 comes to a close, I'm reflecting on our recent launch of the Health Care Transformation Hub — and what's ahead.

We are developing a repository of the most rigorous research on patient-centered care — making data and evidence accessible to the people who need it most: frontline clinicians and policymakers.

But evidence alone doesn't drive change, people do. That's why we will continue to facilitate conversations with people capable of driving systemic change. The Hub exists to bridge the gap between knowing what works and actually implementing it.

I’m excited by our early progress, but this is only the beginning. Looking ahead to 2026, we're expanding our thought leadership convenings to bring together diverse voices tackling health care's toughest challenges. We'll be announcing our advisory board — a group of leaders across the health care industry who will help guide our work and ensure we're focused on what matters most: patient-centered care that is higher quality, more accessible, and more affordable.

The path forward is clear: prioritize prevention, leverage innovation and align financial incentives while keeping people healthy and well.

I hope you’ll follow our journey, join the conversation and help us transform not just health care delivery, but the experience of care itself.
