What's Going On

  • CEO vacancy: Albanese left for Kaiser Sept 2025. National search underway. Strategic flux = potential openness.
  • Discovery AI initiative: Announced Feb 2026 — new strategic AI/ML research initiative
  • Duke AI Health Summit: Annual event signaling institutional AI commitment
  • New compute infrastructure being built for sensitive data research

Who to Email

Jeffrey Ferranti, MD, MS — SVP & Chief Digital Officer. Technology decision-maker, former CIO, medical informatics background. CEO vacancy actually helps — his team is building the case for tools that demonstrate ROI to incoming leadership.

Note: Need to figure out who was emailed in October before re-engaging.
