He has an excellent speaking style. "
-Ingalls Health System"As President of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), I want to thank you for taking the time to address CAP’s House of Delegates and Residents Forum recently. You have been at the center of some very important health care debates – both as a physician and lawmaker – so your insights are particularly valuable as we chart a course for our profession in the midst of health care reform and changing market forces. As you clearly expressed, our members cannot ignore the challenges and opportunities that reform presents. We appreciated your perspective on how individual pathologists can make a difference and support the delivery of high quality, patient-centered care. You inspired us to continue to engage in the process and make our mark. Just what the doctor ordered!"
-College of American Pathologists"Senator Frist spoke at our sold out event of around 400. We received excellent media coverage, print, radio as well as TV.

His approachable style coupled with his willingness to debate and discuss provided an ideal interchange."
-McKesson Provider Technologies"I really enjoyed the lecture; I thought it was great that Frist not only made his point with shocking statistics and compelling personal experiences, but also offered students ways to make a difference. He answered questions with detail and seemed to genuinely appreciate the students' feedback. And I thought it was fantastic that he concluded the lecture with the Superbowl ad with James Carville "
-Indiana University"Senator Frist was great, as he was the last time - approachable, thoughtful, interested, eloquent…most excellent!!"

Climate Change
Senator and Dr. BILL FRIST provides his perspective as Chairman of the Global Board of the Nature Conservancy, the nation’s largest conservation organization, on what personal, organizational, and policy-first steps we can take to protect our environment and our futures.
Intersection of Nature and Health
The World Health Organization has described the climate crisis as the “single biggest health threat facing humanity.” Empirical evidence increasingly demonstrates that spending time in nature has proven health benefits, while climate change and intensifying storm patterns have been linked to poorer health and additional stressors on health systems. Drawing from Senator BILL FRIST’s experience in medical practice, in operating working farms, and chairing the board of a major global conservation organization, he links the importance of preserving our planet and building green cities and health systems to improving future health outcomes.
Leadership Lessons from a Senator-Doctor-Investor
Senator BILL FRIST provides unique insights – and lessons learned – from a fascinating career that includes practicing at the highest levels of medicine – founding the Vanderbilt Multi-Organ Transplant Center at a time when transplants were often considered experimental; leading the United States Senate as the youngest member ever elected to that position; and today building dynamic healthcare businesses that solve for our nation’s greatest health challenges through value-based approaches.
Building a Successful Health Services Company
Perspective from BILL FRIST, a Partner and Executive Committee Chairman at the successful private equity firm Cressey and Company — which has invested and managed over $2 billion of healthcare investments, founding partner of Frist Cressey Ventures, and co-founder of Aspire Health. How private equity and venture capital contributes to building companies that offer solutions to problems that government can’t address, and can be profitable while pursuing a social mission.
Creating a Culture of Health
Health care is not the driver of health. Our behaviors, shaped by our physical and social environment, are the primary determinants of health and well-being. Knowing this, can a community create a culture of health that drives better health outcomes without costly interventions? BILL FRIST draws from personal experience establishing the collective-impact organization “NashvilleHealth,” and building businesses that address drivers of health outcomes further upstream.
Global health, International Relief, and Strategic Health Diplomacy
Reflections from personal experiences of practicing medicine and delivering care in 7 countries in Africa, as well as personally providing on the ground medical assistance immediately after Katrina, the Indian Ocean Tsunami, and the Haiti earthquake. This is centered on Senator BILL FRIST’s own medical volunteerism and his commitment to using “medicine as a currency for peace,” as well as his leadership role in enacting PEPFAR, a federal investment of nearly $100 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response, the largest commitment by any nation to address a single disease in history, saving 21 million lives and counting.
