J. Eduardo Rame
J. Eduardo Rame is a Philadelphia cardiologist who treats the sickest hearts in medicine - patients in the final stage of heart failure who depend on pumps, transplants and the chance their own muscle can be coaxed back to life. As the Louis R. Dinon MD Professor and enterprise chief of Advanced Cardiac and Pulmonary Vascular Disease at Jefferson Health, he runs an integrated division built around recovery rather than replacement. Yale-trained in biophysics, Oxford-trained in health economics and Harvard-trained in medicine, he spent a decade founding Penn's mechanical circulatory support program before bringing that work to Jefferson. His research on left ventricular assist devices, including the landmark MOMENTUM 3 trial, has been cited more than 12,000 times.
Patricia "Trish" Henwood
Patricia "Trish" Henwood, MD, FACEP is an emergency physician who runs quality and safety across an 18-hospital system as Executive Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer of Jefferson Health in Philadelphia. Before the C-suite, she carried a portable ultrasound probe into an Ebola treatment unit in Liberia and built training programs that put imaging in the hands of clinicians in Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and beyond. She founded the nonprofit PURE to bring point-of-care ultrasound to resource-limited settings, published her bedside Ebola work in the New England Journal of Medicine, and now applies the same systems thinking to closing care gaps for vulnerable populations at home.
