Cheryl Pegus, MD, MPH, Executive Board Chair of FlyteHealth, is Co-Chair of the newly launched Capital Impact Council at the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy. This groundbreaking initiative “supports the development of strategies, tools, and frameworks to enable the private investment community to demonstrate and deliver measurable benefits for health outcomes, access, affordability, and community resilience.”
The Capital Impact Council (CIC) brings together venture capital and private equity investors along with Duke-Margolis Advisory Board Members to establish best practices for investments that lead to measurable improvements in the long-term health of communities. As a recognized leader in healthcare innovation and sustainable data-driven solutions, Dr. Pegus brings a wealth of expertise to the council.
“Private investment has enormous opportunity to drive innovation in health care, but to be truly transformative those investments must align with larger goals for affordability, sustainability, and long-term health outcomes,” said Dr. Pegus. “I’m honored to help lead this council to create tools that make public-private partnerships more impactful.”
Along with the announcement of the formation of the Council, the CIC issued “Health Value Return on Investment: A Framework to Support Private Investment that Improves Health Care and Health.” This resource provides a framework for assessing and measuring the long-term ROI of health care innovations.
