Dr. Clive Fields
Co-founder and chief medical officer, VillageMD
In 2021, VillageMD received a $5 billion investment from Walgreens Boots Alliance, which is looking to expand its healthcare offerings and has chosen VillageMD as a partner.
Fields, president of Village Family Practice and co-founder and chief medical officer of VillageMD, launched his career at Village Family Practice in Houston and quickly earned credibility as a physician executive. In 2013 he co-founded VillageMD to help family physicians succeed in a value-based care environment. Fields is chair of the Accountable Care Coalition of Texas and serves on the faculties of Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Texas Health Sciences Center at Houston.
Fields speaks: “Think about the patient the same way as other service providers think about their customers. Meet them where they are—consider not only what they need, but what they want. Success requires affability, availability and ability.”
