CEOs Turn Uncertainty into 90‑Day Action Plans

The author, a 26‑year hospitalist, argues that world leaders should emulate the way diverse medical teams collaborated during the COVID‑19 pandemic. He recounts personal friendships with physicians of varied ethnicities, religions, and sexual orientations who united around patient care despite societal turmoil.

The piece concludes that the United Nations and global policymakers could learn from the inclusive, mission‑first culture of healthcare professionals.
