Looking to the future, Bill, what are you building here?

What is your vision for the Texas Medical Center over the next 10 years?

Thank you, Bill.

And I can't thank you enough for taking the time to have this discussion with us.

As always, it's inspiring and informative.

I'd also like to thank our audience for listening to the podcast.

I took a few just important takeaways from the conversation.

The first one is just the importance of visionary leadership and courage to make a difference.

How Texas Medical Center pivoted from

an organization that just provided physical infrastructure, parking, catering to all these world-class medical institutions to becoming a partner that has a vision to help really drive healthcare across this region and nationally and globally.

Very exciting vision, one about entrepreneurship and courage.

I also took away the importance of social capital and how

When you establish trust amongst people, in this case, COVID helped create, you know, real trust, you're able to achieve miracles and how all these institutions and the city, you know, business, academia, local government came together was really a benchmark, I think, for the USA and globally, as we think about all these important problems and challenges that we are wrestling with as a society.

I'm also very inspired about the future of healthcare, everything from AI to accelerated clinical trials, to driving innovations that exist in someone's mind or lab one day through to, you know, millions and billions of patients a little bit later.

And I really take a lot of hope on how we as society are starting to accelerate our response to so many of these healthcare challenges through innovation.
