LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gregory H. Bledsoe, MD, MPH, MBA, who serves as Strategic Advisor for Kindly Human, is a featured guest this week on the Impact Podcast with John Shegerian.

Dr. Bledsoe served as Surgeon General for Arkansas from 2015-2023. His past roles have included positions at Arkansas Heart Hospital, Align MD, and serving on the faculty of John Hopkins Department of Emergency Medicine.

Bush and as the personal physician for former President Clinton during their African tours.

With both an MD from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and an MBA from MIT’s Sloan School of Management, Dr. Bledsoe combines his entrepreneurial business interests (including founding the expedition and wilderness medical education company ExpedMed) with a passion for healthcare.
