Episode Synopsis

Warner Thomas is president and CEO of Ochsner Health based in New Orleans, Louisiana, and he recently completed a six-year term on MedPAC. He has been with Ochsner for over 20 years, previously serving as president and COO. Between hurricane Katrina, the COVID-19 pandemic, and sitting at the table for discussions about Medicare and other federal healthcare policies, Thomas has comprehensive perspective on how the healthcare system became what it is today, and has a clear point of view for the future of healthcare. In this conversation for the Art of Change, Thomas talks with Jarrard Inc. partner and chief development officer Anne Hancock Toomey about that point of view. They discuss the importance of scale, the role of mergers and acquisitions, the value of a strong digital footprint, and the mindset of hospital and health system CEOs today.
