100 Most Influential People in Healthcare - 2021

Slavitt is general partner and co-founder of Town Hall Ventures, which invests in underserved communities. He also recently was asked to lead CityBlock Health on an interim basis while the startup’s CEO and co-founder Iyah Romm takes a leave of absence. Cityblock was founded at Sidewalk Labs, an Alphabet subsidiary and Google sister company that builds and invests in "urban innovation" companies. Slavitt is also a co-founder and board chair of the United States of Care, a not-for profit committed to quality healthcare.

Slavitt also served as acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during the Obama administration, where he led the turnaround of the HealthCare.gov exchange.

Slavitt speaks: “A culture of denying science, denying the very virus and sowing divisions wasn’t helpful. This was an incredibly difficult period of time. But when we look at one another, the question is, did we do enough? Did we sacrifice even a little bit for the health and for the business and for others?”
