NASHVILLE, TN, January 31, 2022 – Frist Cressey Ventures (FCV) announces the inaugural FCV Collective. Launched by Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist and Frist Cressey Ventures, the FCV Collective brings together executives from diverse segments of the health care industry for shared learning and thought leadership while building a lasting network in support of systemic change and a better health care system.
