"At a time when our healthcare sector is facing unprecedented challenges, we need visionary leaders more than ever. Gene's vision for the future is a source of hope and his journey is an inspiration. In this book, he not only brings readers behind-the-scenes of a major healthcare system's work to expand access to healthcare and confront an unprecedented pandemic, but he also presents smart, bipartisan policy prescriptions to achieve the transformation our nation desperately needs."—Erskine Bowles, former White House chief of staff and former president of the University of North Carolina
“Gene Woods gives us an incredible balance of technical expertise, world-class leadership, and unmatched authenticity with his book about health care. He offers a powerful lesson about overcoming adversity and not allowing your surroundings to limit your vision of the future. By transparently giving us a view of his personal journey, he inspires us with what can be achieved through a commitment to education, hard work, and excellence. Whether you're an experienced executive or a student dreaming of a better future, this book will inspire you on the art of the possible while providing hope for the future of America’s healthcare system.”—Marvin Ellison, chairman, president, and CEO of Lowe’s Home Improvement
“As one of our nation’s premier healthcare executives and a great North Carolinian, Gene has seen firsthand how Americans interact with our healthcare system. In his writing, Gene cuts through the complexity of our healthcare system and paints a compelling picture of what healthcare in America could and should look like. It's a must-read for those who want a front row seat to innovative ideas and thoughtful ways to expand access to healthcare, build the clinical workforce of the future, and address health disparities.”—Former Senator Richard Burr (R-NC)
