About this episode

Lee Norman shares insights from his extensive career as a military doctor and health secretary during the pandemic.

There are leaders who serve, and there are those who define service itself. Today’s guest is a Colonel and a Doctor who has worn both titles with distinction. Lee Norman spent six decades committed to protecting others, in the Air Force, as a decorated Army officer, and as a physician executive. Known best as the steady handed health secretary that guided Kansas’ pandemic response, he is - above all - a family doctor who understands that medicine is personal. His career has been a fitting capstone to a life spent shaping patient care. And through his devotion to protecting and improving lives, has earned a reputation for being nothing short of consequential.
