Episode Overview:
Geography should never determine whether a patient lives or dies.
Our next guest, Dr. Sarah Matt, is on a mission to make that vision a reality.

From leading Oracle’s $28 billion Cerner integration to architecting the first U.S. remote robotic surgery network, she’s been at the forefront of healthcare’s digital transformation.
Now, as a national bestselling author of The Borderless Healthcare Revolution, Sarah is equipping healthcare leaders with a practical framework to eliminate physical, financial, cultural, digital, and trust barriers to care.
