I help hospital boards understand and govern AI.
For 20 years I’ve helped healthcare leaders think through emerging technology.
Today I work primarily with hospital boards at board retreats, because boards are being asked to govern AI tools arriving so quickly that trustees have not had the time to understand them or catch up. I help fix that.

The Trustee’s AI Library
AI: Clear and to the Point — The vocabulary every trustee needs before the next board meeting.
Tech Terms for Trustees — A plain-English reference for the acronyms consultants use to confuse you.
AI Governance for Hospitals — What your board must do, document, and decide in the next 12 months.
What I learned in a room of 150 healthcare leaders.
I asked how many knew what an LLM was. 16 hands went up. I asked how many knew what RAG was. Zero.
These were smart, senior people — the kind who sit on hospital boards or answer to them. They’re being asked to govern a technology stack whose vocabulary they’ve never been taught.
This is a consequence of the fastest growing, most disruptive, technology in the history of healthcare. That’s the gap I help close.
Board Retreats and Board Education
I work around a board’s time constraints. One hour, 2 hour or half-day formats. Books included for every attendee. I develop a custom agenda built around where your board actually is — not where a generic keynote assumes you are.
