Show Notes

Joining us on this week’s episode of Coffee with Closers is Dr. J. Stephen Jones, a nationally recognized healthcare leader who serves as the President and CEO of Inova Health System in Northern Virginia. Inova is the only large health system in America to have every one of its hospitals rated five stars by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). 

With our nation’s healthcare delivery system undergoing major changes, which include facing continued incursions from nontraditional disruptors like Amazon and Walmart, Dr. Jones discusses some of the serious challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for an industry in transition. 

He also recounts what the early, uncertain days of Covid-19 were like inside Inova and important lessons learned from the pandemic that will affect how care is delivered in the future.
