Mr. Fetter serves as president and CEO of the third-largest for-profit hospital oper- ator in the nation, Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare. He has served as president since November 2002 and added the CEO title in September 2003. As Tenet's leader, Mr. Fetter oversees the system's 80 hospitals, more than 200 outpatient centers, six health plans and more than 105,000 employees. Tenet saw paying admissions grow 6.1 percent and emergency department visits go up 5.1 per- cent in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The chain estimates the PPACA contributed to 40 percent of its volume growth in the quarter. Mr. Fetter joined Tenet in 1995 and served as its CFO from 1996 to 1999. Tom Frieden, MD, MPH. Dr. Frieden heads one of the nation's most influential healthcare orga- nizations, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, based in Atlanta. Though he has led the CDC since June 2009, Dr. Frieden became a household name in 2014 as the public face of the CDC's response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the U.S. The CDC and Dr. Frieden have led the nation's response to the deadly virus, sending staff to West Africa, assisting with Ebola patients in Dallas and New York, and creating and updating guidance on how providers nation- wide should handle Ebola treatment. Dr. Frieden earned his medical degree and master's in public health from Columbia University and completed infectious disease training at Yale University. Richard Gilfillan, MD, MBA. Dr. Gilfillan has more than 25 years of healthcare leadership expe- rience in both for-profit and nonprofit sectors. He launched the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation in 2010 and served as its first director for roughly three years. The CMMI was created by the PPACA and oversees the federal government's accountable care organization programs, among other programs. He stepped down from that role in June and subsequently became president and CEO of Trinity Health in Livonia, Mich., formerly CHE Trinity, one of the largest Catholic health systems in the nation. Dr. Gilfillan is a family medicine physician with an MBA from the Whar- ton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Gary Gottlieb, MD. Partners HealthCare in Bos- ton is one of the most influential health systems in the nation and Dr. Gottlieb became its presi- dent and CEO in 2010. Partners' founding hos- pitals are Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital, and it now in- cludes eight other acute-care hospitals as well as a managed care organization and specialty physi- cians. Partners received 31 percent of the money Massachusetts commercial payers spent on acute- care hospital services in 2012. Partners had plans to grow further with an acquisition of South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Mass., and Hall- mark Health System in Melrose, Mass., but those mergers have been hampered because of the pos- sible impact on prices in Massachusetts. As of this writing, the mergers had yet to be confirmed. Dr. Gottlieb announced plans to step down from his current role in July to lead Partners in Health, a nonprofit organization unaffiliated with Partners HealthCare that provides medical care in impov- erished countries.

Unit- edHealth Group has two prominent subsidiaries: Optum, which provides information and technol- ogy health services, and UnitedHealthcare, which provides healthcare coverage and benefits.
