Dr. Philip Dorian McAdoo is an organizational strategist, educator, author, advocate, and storyteller. He serves as Director of Internal Equity & Workplace Well-Being at IHI, where he helps strengthen the cultures, practices, and conditions that allow people and systems to improve. As host of Turn on the Lights, Philip brings a human-centered lens to conversations about trust, dignity, leadership, and building better health care systems.

Dr. Ernest Grant joins Turn on the Lights to reflect on a nursing career shaped by bedside care, burn prevention, public policy, and national leadership. He explains why nurses need a meaningful seat at the table, how AI should support rather than replace human care, and why healthcare leaders must mentor the next generation and create safer ways for nurses to speak up.

In this IHI Spotlight, Shadin Hilton emphasizes that public health needs memory: science and data must remain connected to people, prevention tools must be paired with systems that deliver them equitably, and community partnership must be treated as a condition for effectiveness rather than a courtesy.
