Robin Blackstone, MD

Dr. Robin Blackstone is a surgeon, health-systems innovator, and founder of Blackstone Health and the H4 Alliance. After three decades caring for thousands of people and leading major initiatives across academic medicine, integrated health systems, and global industry, she came to a blunt conclusion: American health care is not failing accidentally, it is failing by design. That recognition now drives her work to build Health 4.0, a next generation American health system that aligns AI, ethics, and culture to deliver comprehensive, affordable, sustainable health at scale, an emerging model with global relevance.

A nationally and internationally sought-after speaker, Blackstone advises hospitals, employers, and policymakers on quality, safety, system redesign, and the financial and regulatory architecture essential for restoring trust in the American Health system. She writes and teaches at the intersection of medicine, healthcare technology, and culture, grounded in the belief that autonomy, transparency, and community form the foundation of trust in health. In Doctor AI: Reimagining Health, she presents an unflinching blueprint for a 28th Amendment and a comprehensive USA Health system—offering a path to replace fragmentation and financial harm with accountability, visibility, and shared prosperity, and demonstrating how a nation can finally build the health system it deserves.
