Description:

In this episode, Tony Mango and Evan Gomez from Orlando Health’s Strategic Innovations team break down how a major nonprofit health system accelerates ideas from its 40,000+ team members into real solutions. They explain Orlando Health’s unique capability to develop medical devices in-house under FDA registration, how they triage innovation disclosures, and when they choose outside-in partnerships versus building internally based on speed, workflow fit, and adoption. The conversation explores the realities of commercialization—reimbursement, CFO-driven purchasing, long U.S. sales cycles, and why great technology can still fail without economic alignment. They also share how Orlando Health uses innovation as a recruitment and retention engine, expands regionally, and builds industry connections through curated clinical immersion sessions.
