Cleveland Clinic’s ex-CEO Cosgrove to be advisor to Google Cloud
Former CEO and president of the Cleveland Clinic, Toby Cosgrove, MD, will be an executive advisor to Google Cloud’s healthcare and life sciences team.
Currently an executive advisor to the Cleveland Clinic, Cosgrove will aim to improve patient experience and population health, while reducing costs. The team will look to combine technology in healthcare, including electronic health records, with an engaged medical staff.
“[Cosgrove] is a widely respected thought leader in the healthcare space. Over the course of his career, he has seen firsthand how digitization has improved--and hampered--healthcare," Moore, MD, PhD, vice president of healthcare for Google Cloud. "We're thrilled to have Dr. Cosgrove on board to help us tackle the Quadruple Aim, drawing on his several decades of experience at the forefront of American medicine."
Cosgrove, who reportedly turned down a role in Donald Trump’s cabinet as Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, retired at the end of 2017. He served as an adviser Trump on the Strategic and Policy Forum before it was ended in late 2017
Cosgrove expressed his excitement on Twitter last week:
Nicholas joined TriMed in 2016 as the managing editor of the Chicago office. After receiving his master’s from Roosevelt University, he worked in various writing/editing roles for magazines ranging in topic from billiards to metallurgy. Currently on Chicago’s north side, Nicholas keeps busy by running, reading and talking to his two cats.
