Recorded at the 2025 Aegis Summit, Dr. Richard Carmona, 17th U.S. Surgeon General and Distinguished Laureate Professor at the University of Arizona, joined Murray Brozinsky, Partner at Aegis Ventures, for a fireside chat to discuss what it really means to design policy around health and wellbeing.
Dr. Carmona shares how his lived experience with poverty, homelessness, combat service, and frontline care shaped his approach to public health and policy, and why he has always seen himself as a doctor for the nation rather than for any political party. The discussion explores prevention and health span, social determinants of health, the link between population health and national security, and the role of the U.S. in promoting global wellbeing. Dr. Carmona calls for a renewed focus on cross-sector collaboration and character-driven leadership to rebuild trust and design policy with purpose.
