HCA’s Jon Perlin & Senator Frist: Making an Impact in the Changing Healthcare Environment

Today I sit down with my good friend, Dr. Jon Perlin, President of Clinical Services and Chief Medical Officer of HCA Healthcare.  For something a little different for us, Jon interviews me in a wide-ranging discussion touching on electronic health records, the 2020 election and its implications for healthcare, how coronavirus changed the world overnight, and global health diplomacy through HIV/AIDS and a government program called PEPFAR. This is a live taping at the Lake Nona Impact Forum.  Each year more than 300 of the nation’s top CEOs, health care innovators and thought leaders gather here in Lake Nona Medical City, Florida to lead the conversation on building the Wellbeing Ecosystem of the Future.

He was elected Majority Leader of the Senate, having served fewer total years in Congress than any person chosen to lead that body in history. His leadership was instrumental in the passage of the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act that established the Medicare prescription drug benefit, and the historic PEPFAR legislation that provided life-saving treatment globally to 20 million people and reversed the spread of HIV/AIDS worldwide.
