About this episode

The episode discusses the modernization of data infrastructure at federal health agencies through AI and insights from experienced professionals.

In this episode, host Sandy Vance chats with Brad Schoffstall, Vice President of Health and Compliance Programs at CGI, and Dr. James Peake, Senior Vice President and former Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Army Surgeon General. They have a wide-ranging and practical conversation about what it actually takes to modernize data infrastructure at federal health agencies. With Brad's 35 years at CGI and Dr. Peake's 16 years, this is a conversation grounded in hard-won experience rather than theory. Today’s conversation is a refreshingly honest and deeply practical perspective for anyone working at the intersection of government, healthcare, and AI.
