Description

This milestone 200th(!!!) episode of The Heart of Healthcare Podcast features none other than Dr. Tom X. Lee, the serial physician-founder behind Epocrates (acquired for $293M), One Medical (acquired by Amazon for $3.9B), and now Galileo, a tech-enabled medical group aiming to rewire care delivery from the ground up.

We cover:

🧠 Why most doctors aren’t wired for management (and what traits he thinks translate to startup success)

📉 How medical education is falling behind the pace of change in care delivery

💸 Why healthcare’s biggest barrier is economics, not culture

🏥 What Galileo is doing differently to re-engineer care on the backend

📈 What founders need to understand about building for exit vs. impact

About our guest: 

Tom is the CEO and visionary behind Galileo. Prior to Galileo, Tom helped build One Medical into the leading independent primary care system in the country, and previously helped launch Epocrates, the #1 mobile app used by clinicians at the point of care. Tom is a board-certified internist who completed training at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He received his BS from Yale University, his MD from the University of Washington School of Medicine, and his MBA from Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.
