Sam Weinstein is a pediatric cardiac surgeon turned healthcare executive who runs SpecialtyCare, the Brentwood, Tennessee company that supplies the specialized clinical teams - perfusionists, neuromonitoring technologists, surgical assistants and sterile-processing staff - working inside more than 1,200 hospital operating rooms across 45 states. After 16 years operating on children's hearts in New York and leading more than 30 surgical mission trips to Latin America, he joined SpecialtyCare as Chief Medical Officer in 2015, became President of Operations in 2016, and has been CEO since 2017. His pitch is simple: take the largest operative procedural database in the business and use it to make surgery safer and cheaper, one case at a time.
