TowerBrook Healthcare Institute

The TowerBrook Healthcare Institute (THI) is a platform to convene select leaders of both incumbent and insurgent healthcare organizations and advanced technology companies in order to advance the health of humanity and to reduce the percent of GDP spent on healthcare.

Through private dinners, executive leadership team retreats and boardroom discussions, immersive site visits to frontier organizations, and insightful and provocative content and podcasts hosted by Eric Larsen, THI seeks to specifically provoke and share key learnings so that we can help effect positive change with accuracy and velocity. Rather than theorizing from the sidelines, THI convenes the people in a position to drive innovation and change to engage directly – with candor, confidentiality, curiosity, and urgency – to advance healthcare on planet Earth.

Incumbents and Insurgents Podcast

Presented by TowerBrook Healthcare Institute and hosted by Eric Larsen, Incumbents and Insurgents is a candid series exploring the collision and collaboration between healthcare and technology, examining how incumbents adopt AI, insurgents challenge entrenched models – and both strive to improve outcomes while reducing costs.
