But for her, it wasn't about what her family didn't have, it was about what they gained. In a community rich with diversity, both socioeconomically and racially, Sara developed a deep comfort and appreciation for being in all kinds of environments. That early exposure shaped how she navigates the world today, including her relationship with money and identity. Sara Eversden is a leader in healthcare finance, and operations with over two decades of experience driving success for physician organizations and medical groups across the U.S. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with a master's in healthcare administration, Sara has a proven track record of optimizing organizational performance, transforming complex organizations, and leading high-performing teams. Currently serving as Senior Vice President of Women & Children's Operations at Envision Healthcare, Sara manages a multi-state portfolio spanning 15 states, 70 hospitals, and 500+ clinicians. Previously, Sara held pivotal roles such as Market President & CEO at Women's Health USA, where she integrated multiple practices post-acquisition, and as a CFO within McKesson's US Oncology Network, where she spearheaded financial strategies for Network practices. Sara's expertise spans startups, turnarounds, post-merger integrations, and complex reorganizations, making her uniquely positioned to navigate challenging healthcare environments. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Sara is passionate about empowering the next generation of leaders through education and service. She is a former board member at the National Charity League and co-founded a nonprofit aimed at providing college scholarships to high school graduates from underserved populations.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in Pharma and Biotech world.In today's episode, we have several news updates from the industry. Let's dive right in!First up, we have a webinar titled "Navigating Preclinical Drug Development Challenges with Lipid-Based Formulations." This webinar discusses how biopharma teams are utilizing lipid-based formulations (LBF) to improve the bioavailability of challenging molecules and reduce the transition time and cost requirements for clinical trials. The highlights of the webinar include strategies for dosing lipid formulations in preclinical models, key considerations for improving bioavailability through LBF, and the regulatory and technical nuances involved in transitioning preclinical LBF to viable clinical dosage forms.Next, we have a case study from Cambrex on their process to enable GMP production under tight time pressure for a first-in-human clinical trial. This case study highlights the importance of route development and designing synthesis for GMP production. Cambrex's experts successfully developed a robust and high-yield process to enable GMP production within a tight timeline for a first-in-human clinical trial.Moving on, Biogen and Sage have set the price of their postpartum depression pill at $15,900, which is significantly lower than initial predictions. This move aims to make the treatment more accessible to patients. Additionally, obesity drug biotech startup OrsoBio has raised $60 million in a series A funding round to develop new therapies for obesity and related metabolic disorders.In another news update, Anne Wojcicki, CEO of 23andMe, discusses the company's transition into a "full-fledged biotech" in an in-depth interview. Wojcicki explains how 23andMe is venturing into drug research and development, going beyond its initial focus on at-home genetics testing. Ventyx, a biotech company, has revised its plans for its tyk2 drug after lackluster study data, and Bristol Myers is paying $100 million for access to a blood and bone marrow cancer drug developed by Orum Therapeutics.Shifting gears, the Biden administration is proposing a rule to cap broker payment in Medicare Advantage (MA) plans in Massachusetts to prevent marketing misconduct. Kaiser Permanente reported a rebound in investment and operating income in Q3, Envision Healthcare has emerged from bankruptcy restructuring, and Surescripts has acquired drug alternatives company ActiveRadar.Hospitals are also facing challenges in preparing for extreme weather events caused by climate change. Financial and data challenges are making it difficult for hospitals to develop effective disaster planning strategies. In other news, Cigna is reportedly exploring the possibility of shedding its Medicare Advantage business, and there is an ongoing battle over drug prices between Secretaries Becerra and Azar. A new California law offers protection from steep ambulance bills.Moving on to the pharmaceutical industry, Novartis has signed a potential $1.3 billion deal with Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical for the global rights to develop an oral HDAC6 inhibitor. Ventyx Biosciences has decided to discontinue the development of its psoriasis candidate despite positive results in a phase II study. Vertex Pharmaceuticals reported third-quarter revenue of $2.48 billion, falling short of expectations. The Department of Health and Human Services is considering removing Johnson & Johnson's psoriasis treatment Stelara from Medicare drug price negotiations.Next, we have an article discussing Anne Wojcicki, CEO and founder of 23andMe, and her ambitions to disrupt the healthcare industry through genomics. Wojcicki's interest in healthcare began during her childhood, and she has positioned 23andMe as a leader in direct-to-consumer genetic testing and genetic data partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. The article highlights an in-depth interview with Wojcicki, wher

Now, I'm being pretty careful here because med schools are super sensitive about their curriculums. And I am sensitive to the fact there's much to teach in four years. So, throwing no shade here, what do I know from the Krebs cycle? Choices of what to teach are tough. With that disclaimer, in this healthcare podcast I am speaking with Adam Brown MD, MBA, about an article he wrote entitled “Dear Medical Schools, Educate Students on the Business of Medicine—Without it, you are doing your students a disservice.” Let me give you Dr. Brown's list for the “why teach the business of medicine.” He says: 1. The role of physicians in medicine has changed, and we dig into this in the episode. 2. There's an expectation mismatch. Docs are investing 10 years and, on average, $200K to $300K in real dollars to get that MD or DO. You don't want those new physicians quitting on the quick because the reality is so different from what they thought it would be. Not being up front about the business of medicine is like hiding the reality of the situation instead of preparing them. 3. If you don't understand the business of medicine, you do not know how to advocate for yourself or the profession or even patients in a way that is compelling to the current set of decision-makers. As maybe a corroboration here, may I just report that I probably have gotten (conservatively) 100, 150 emails and LinkedIn notes from physicians who say basically some version of the same thing: Thanks so much for Relentless Health Value. I wish I would have learned even the basics of what you cover in med school. If I had, I would have been able to help myself and help myself help patients far better. 4. Docs are the ones with the prescription pads. Docs are just functionally the gang who are driving costs that patients and employers and taxpayers ultimately incur. Not knowing the how much or just the whole story here can inadvertently contribute to clinical morbidity, because patients who fear they cannot afford care do not follow doctors' orders. We should get real about that. Or if they do follow doctors' orders and go into debt … I mean, there's just study after study in oncology and otherwise that shows patients who cannot afford their care have worse outcomes. We cannot hide from this any longer. 5. The last reason is that there's lots of things that docs can do besides just be at the bedside. Not giving insight into these alternative paths seems unfortunate for any doc who maybe wants to mix it up some because they're feeling burned out or in a different season of their life looking for something more aligned with where they are as a person. So, now let's think about this whole question from the standpoint of the system itself—from the standpoint of doing better by patients. Why is it important to teach docs the business of medicine? Let's start here. When physicians do not understand the business of medicine, it's harder for docs to get into boardrooms and have their voices heard. Not teaching the business of medicine in med school might be one reason why there is such a shockingly small percentage of doctors on the boards of directors at major nonprofit hospitals (listen to the show with Suhas Gondi, MD, MBA [EP404]) and why there's so little “dyad leadership” in the ranks of both clinical and payer organizations, etc. And even fewer nurses are in organizational decision-making roles, by the way, despite nurses actually being the most trusted profession—even more trusted than doctors by 14 percentage points, according to Gallup. One way to interpret this lack of docs and other clinicians in the boardroom is simple cause and effect. Doctors are losing control and ownership—and I mean this in literal terms—of the organizations that run the business of medicine, which controls the medicine of medicine. Chad Erickson wrote a comment about this on LinkedIn that I thought was great. He wrote, “Opportunities for physicians to really control or even impact the 86% of healthcare outside of their practice are being reduced every year. We expect doctors to make the decisions and be accountable for patients and outcomes, yet we are taking away their ability to do so.” And going one level deeper here on how not having enough docs in admin roles becomes a snowball rolling downhill kind of downward spiral, I'm gonna quote Jeremy Granger, MD, FAAP. He wrote, “When you are a physician administrator, it can be very strange. There is tremendous pressure from administrators to think and act like one of them and give insight into how to best coerce physician behavior to align with administrator-determined goals without necessarily involving the physician with setting those goals. When you advocate instead with your physician hat, you can find yourself ostracized from that administrator clique. You realize that they view physicians as knaves and you as the Judas goat. You either pick a side or, if you're lucky, you land with a team that has physician leaders equipped with equal power as administrators.” So, you see what happens. Doc gets an admin role and either chucks their stethoscope and their patient-first mindset out the window to fit in, or they quit. And then we never get to any sort of critical mass of clinicians in leadership roles that would reset the organizational ethos. So, here we are. Too few mission-driven and business-savvy docs in boardrooms mean patients get the kind of care they're currently getting and at the prices we're all currently paying. From the standpoint of doing better by patients, I hear story after story about some doc who was under the impression that, I don't know, working with a private equity firm to do a roll-up of all the specialty practices in a local market was pretty cool and a totally victimless strategy. Or the surprisingly high number of docs prescribing drugs on that most wasteful spending list. There's one on that list, for example, that costs taxpayers or an employer $2000 when that drug consists of basically two $15 over-the-counter meds mashed together—and yet there's the impression that the $2000 drug is a better financial choice because there's a co-pay card and the patient out of pocket might conceivably be less … until it isn't, of course, because it's not like that additional $1970 in cost suddenly becomes free. Or what happens when a clinician is told to order largely unnecessary MRIs because workers' comp covers everything and no one cares—so this kind of thing continues to just happen … all this stuff. It takes a broader understanding to get the why and create the intrinsic motivation and necessary insight and right language and arguments to make things better. But all of this is about patients. If I'm talking to margin-driven people sitting around the conference room table with their calculators, are there any organizational consequences, meaning financial consequences, to not making sure doctors understand business and have a seat at the table? Here's two (there's probably more): 1. Staff turnover. If that's a concern for any organization now, and if moral injury is cited as a reason for that turnover (which it often is), moral injury doesn't happen when organizational demands are aligned with clinician values. 2. Successful value-based care isn't gonna happen if docs don't understand the business of medicine. Listen to the show with Eric Gallagher (EP405) or the one with Amy Scanlan, MD (EP402) or Larry Bauer (EP409). There's like 10 guests who essentially say the same thing. Docs who are in the dark about how the world actually works IRL cannot be an aligned force helping move past the FFS (fee-for-service) status quo and the whole business model that underpins that. Adam Brown, MD, MBA, my guest today, is a practicing emergency physician, board-certified ER doc. He recently founded ABIG Health, working with healthcare companies on communication strategies and advising investment firms. He's also a professor of practice at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Mentioned in this episode is a Tweet by Brendan Keeler. Also, Dr. Denver Sallee's very inspirational predictive scheduling work. I'll leave the last word on this to Michael R. O'Brien, MD: “You don't overcome the corrupting influence of money in medicine by ignoring its existence. … To slay the dollar-eyed dragon, we must be able to see like the dollar-eyed dragon.”   You can learn more at ABIG Health and by reading Dr. Brown's bimonthly column.     Adam Brown, MD, MBA, is a board-certified emergency physician, entrepreneur, and accomplished healthcare executive whose professional journey traverses clinical practice to strategic leadership.

His impactful leadership led to his appointment as chief impact officer in 2021. In 2022, Dr. Brown left Envision and established ABIG Health, a healthcare strategic advisory firm. Additionally, he took on the mantle of professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Kenan-Flagler School of Business (his alma mater), teaching healthcare operations and strategy to MBA students.

The strangest thing was that as I excelled, I kept on getting more and more miserable, anxious, depressed, and unfulfilled. I resigned my job and traveled the world with my husband for a year before we settled down and figured how to make a difference and Untethered was born. We really exist to guide high achieving executives and entrepreneurs to overcome some of the biggest and stubborn obstacles that are in the way of what they want to create in their lives. We combine several different coaching processes like the immunity to change with peak experiences. Mid-career retirement gives us some time to pause to re-evaluate and understand who are we today, because it may not be who we were yesterday. When going through the program, the first phase people get excited because they have someone to help them get through their challenge. The next phase entails getting into the introspective space where we slow everything down to allow that emotion to just be as it is, and not to rush through it. We usually have a peak experience which provides rapid and potent insight that allows that individual to see the pinpoint. Once they have achieved the awareness, they begin to experiment and put the new behaviors and patterns into everyday life. Commercial break My book is about how to put away leading from a place of fear to leading with love. Throughout the book, there are these different distinctions around what it looks like to lead with love and action versus fear. When you lead from a place of love, what you actually create is an environment for people to flourish. Some of the most-high achieving execs and entrepreneurs that I come across are the ones that are looking and needing that self-love more than anyone else. Part of the work that we do here at Untethered is creating the conditions for you to love yourself a little bit more. Find ways to love yourself a little bit more. ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

When it comes to suffering, Bonnie Kelly has “been there and done that.” She understands the cycle of self-sabotage, because she's lived it and conquered it. With no one but herself to lean on, Bonnie overcame a childhood characterized by physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. However, that's not enough to satisfy her vision for an epic life. She's on a mission to give the world an emotional revolution. With so much negativity and pain in the world, it can be hard for anyone to break their own cycles. She shares a 3 step process to overcome self limiting beliefs and tips on allowing your fear to guide you rather then drive you back into your cycle.

Recently, a behind-the-scenes disagreement became public. UnitedHealthcare and Envision Healthcare are having difficulty in coming to an agreement, and that can affect Medicare Advantage policyholders in 2019. This podcast doesn't make a habit of casting blame on one party or the other, and isn't going to start now. That said, policyholders could be affected, if a healthcare provider was "in-network" in the past, and then suddenly becomes "out-of-network." That's the point of this pod. Irrespective of the ultimate outcome, the fact is that the notion of networks should be understood by Medicare Advantage policyholders, so that they understand the financial ripple effects of the Medicare configuration that they make.

Patients and providers are reeling in Ohio, given the new Anthem BlueCross BlueShield emergency department (ED) policy, allowing the payer to decline claims for non-emergency ED visits. Advocates caution that Ohio patients might not visit the ED, fearful of not having their visits covered. Former ED physician-turned healthcare consultant Erica Remer, herself an Ohioan, reports on this developing story. Another headline grabbing story is the reported lawsuit filed by Envision Healthcare against UnitedHealthcare (UHC). Envision is using the giant insurer alleging the UHC "unilaterally" lowered payments of Envision's contracted physicians, according to Axios. Healthcare attorney Mary Inman, a partner at Constantine Cannon, reports on this developing story, calling in from the firm's London office. Yet another story about UHC is reported by Shannon DeConda, founder and president of the National Alliance of Medical Auditing Specialists (NAMAS). UHC, DeConda reports, is cracking down on emergency ED service codes of Level 4 and 5.

It’s a question that any executive or wannabe executive asks: What defines great leadership? Are great leaders born – or can the skills be learned? And how does strong leadership get connected to successful business outcomes? To learn more, I spoke with someone who not only spends much of his time thinking about leadership, he also writes and talks about it – and most importantly, has spent much of his life doing it. Ron Williams is the former Chairman and CEO of Aetna. When he joined Aetna in 2001, its loss from continuing operations was $292 million, with earnings per share loss of $0.46. By the time Williams left in 2011, the company’s full-year operating earnings were $2 billion, with operating earnings per share of $5.17.  During his tenure, Aetna was named FORTUNE’s most admired company in the Health Care: Insurance and Managed Care category for three consecutive years. Since Aetna, Williams has continued to help drive leadership in business, including in private equity. He as served as Operating Advisor to Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, where he is chairman of CD&R’s portfolio company, agilon health, and successfully guided two other CD&R portfolio company exits. His influence and experience doesn’t end there: Williams is a Director of American Express, The Boeing Company, Johnson & Johnson, Envision Healthcare and is a member of Deutsche Bank’s Americas Advisory Board.  He also served on President Obama’s President’s Management Advisory Board from 2011 to 2017, where he worked to bring the best of business practices to the management and operation of the federal government. As you can tell, Williams is motivated by leadership – why it matters, what it looks like, what it can do to improve business and, frankly, society.

The Visiting Nurse Associations of America, better known as VNAA, has long been one of the pillars of advocacy for care in the home.  They’ve felt, however, that the industry overall remains too fragmented to work towards the common goals we all share.  This led them to create an entirely new entity, the recently unveiled elevatingHOME, through which they intend to “re-envision healthcare delivery to place home at the center of care.”  Gavin and Zac recently attended the kick-off ceremony during the Home Based Care conference in San Diego and spoke with the leadership of both organizations, and the thought leaders who are working to make this vision a reality.  Explore this enormous undertaking and visions of what the future can hold with guests including Tracey Moorhead, President & CEO of VNAA AND elevatingHOME, Bob Fazzi, Founding Board Member of elevatingHOME, and Erik Wexler, Chief Executive of Providence St. Joseph Health Southern California.
