HEALTH CARE TRANSFORMATION AND ITS ETHICAL CHALLENGES
Described as a “force of nature,” Ezekiel Emanuel is one of America’s leading voices in the complex and challenging effort to transform how health care is delivered and medicine is practiced. His own experience as an oncologist, academic leader, policy adviser and author has led him to prescribe some provocative cradle-to-grave fixes for what ails our health care system. The common denominator of his ideas: What’s best for patients.
