David Zaas, President and CEO of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“In my first weeks back at Duke, one thing has become clear: research isn’t adjacent to care – it’s how care advances.
As CEO, I see this as core to our strategy, especially as AI begins to fundamentally reshape how we diagnose, monitor, and treat patients. The organizations that will lead in this new era won’t be those layering AI onto legacy models.
They will be the ones where discovery, data, and care delivery are already integrated into a single enterprise.
At Duke Health, that academic and clinical integration is our foundation. It allows our patients to benefit not just from what medicine knows today, but from what it is becoming. The next decade will define which academic medical centers shape the future of care and which adapt to it.
Our path is clear: we intend to lead.”
