FCV Collective.

At Frist Cressey Ventures (FCV), we are dedicated to improving health and well-being for all. We recognize that it’s only through new ideas, innovation and collaboration that we will drive our industry forward and fulfill this deeply-rooted mission. We are focused on magnifying these efforts through the FCV Collective, which convenes top-level industry executives for shared learning and thought leadership while building a lasting network in support of innovation and a better health care system.

Meet the 2026 class of the FCV Collective

Program At-A-Glance.

Each year, the FCV Collective is comprised of a select group of executives from diverse segments of the healthcare industry with a shared passion for innovation. The Collective meets throughout the year, both virtually and in person, to discuss the most pressing topics facing our system, learning from each other, and building relationships with peers across the country. Key activities include a visit to Washington D.C. to meet with policymakers and Administration officials to better understand healthcare policy priorities and agenda-setting. Upon graduating from their respective classes, the connections and relationships forged throughout the year only continue to flourish as FCV Collective members join the FCV Collective Alumni.

Unparalleled Experiences.

The FCV Collective curriculum includes both virtual and in-person sessions with distinguished executives, government leaders and pioneering entrepreneurs.

The Collective virtual sessions have featured executives from these leading organizations:

 

The Collective In Session program annually convenes the cohort in Washington, D.C. for meetings with policymakers, Administration officials and policy influencers.
