Dispensing Wellness: Walgreens' Rx for Healthcare

What’s the surest way people will follow you into battle? Show you care – about them, and their families.

That’s a major lesson John Driscoll learned in the Army…and it’s served him well in the private sector, including his current role at Walgreens, where he’s focused on improving service to patients in the healthcare industry. John shares his leadership insights and the need to focus on healthcare leadership in this episode.

John Driscoll has been at the center of healthcare innovation for more than two decades, leading large companies across sectors. He is currently the President of U.S. Healthcare and EVP, Walgreens Boots Alliance. Previously, he was the CEO of CareCentrix, the industry leader in bringing healthcare to the home, following successful stints helping lead healthcare technology (Castlight), pharmacy benefit managers (Medco, SureScripts) and insurance (Oxford) companies. John’s ongoing interest in and dedication to public health and healthcare innovation led to being selected by the Obama White House for its Entrepreneurs in Residence program to advise the FDA on innovation. John also serves as the Chairman of the Waystar Corporation and is an active investor in emerging healthcare technologies.
