## Resource

What does it really take to build a healthcare company that lasts? In this episode of Innovate and Elevate, Sharon Kedar sits down with Amir Dan Rubin, former CEO of One Medical and Stanford Medicine, to unpack a 30-year journey of building in healthcare. From early ideas around telehealth in the 1990s to leading One Medical through its $3.9 billion acquisition by Amazon, Amir shares what most people misunderstand about innovation in human health. This conversation challenges the narrative of overnight success. Instead, it reveals that the most meaningful breakthroughs require duration, conviction, and the willingness to build long before the outcome is clear. Amir also shares how applying systems thinking from outside of healthcare shaped his leadership across multiple organizations and offers a blueprint for building companies that scale and endure. What You’ll Learn from this Episode: Building in healthcare is a long game measured in decades, not quarters The real risk is not failure, but never finding out what could have been Systems thinking from outside industries can unlock innovation in healthcare As this episode highlights, success in healthcare often depends on: Time horizons measured in decades Cross-industry thinking and innovation Operational excellence and consistency The ability to persist through uncertainty Connect with Sharon: Connect with Sharon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharonkedar/ Learn more about Innovate and Elevate: https:// innovateandelevatepodcast.com Subscribe to Innovate and Elevate on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuWi1O9RBaPMYuCkKszPYVA Join the newsletter to receive the latest episodes in your inbox: https://innovateandelevatepodcast.com/email Connect with Amir Dan Rubin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in…
