Summary

• STEVEN MERAHN, MD is a physician-executive with 40+ years’ of wildly diverse experience working across almost the entire healthcare ecosystem in public health, strategic communications and media, information services and technology, health systems and integrated delivery networks, health plans, clinical practice, population health and value-based care. He is the author of Care Evolution: Essays on Health As A Social Imperative (merahn.com)
  
  Dr. Merahn’s non-traditional career as a physician-executive has provided him deep, hands on, experience with strategic planning, design and development of programs and services, managing operations, effecting change, and managing innovation. He has brought those skills to some of the world’s largest companies and well-known brands, on-profit and mission-driven organizations, urban and rural care delivery systems, multi-state provider networks, and government.
  
  Dr. Merahn is a physician by training, but also an artist, craftsman, educator, and parent. His work has always taken place at boundaries between diverse, and not always apparently related, disciplines. An intellectual adventurer, his interest in medicine was less about a calling as a clinician and more about a deep desire to understand the human experience and passion for human service: mastering the complexities of humanness afforded him a level of understanding and skills which supported his goal to help people realize their full potential, improve the human condition, and elevate civil society.
  
  He is a vocal advocate for equity and inclusion in civil society, the power of the “human-factor” in our systems of care and believes in the principles of personal integrity, relentless intellectual vigor, generosity, forgiveness, courage, commitment, and play.
