“Less Than 1%”: A Leadership Journey with Dr. Mu Tomlinson

The Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of NAHSE, in partnership with Vituity, invites you to a powerful evening of leadership, storytelling, and connection.

Imamu “Mu” Tomlinson, MD, MBA, is a physician, CEO, and nationally recognized thought leader whose career bridges the front lines of emergency medicine and the boardrooms of healthcare innovation. As CEO of Vituity—one of America’s leading physician-led healthcare partnerships—Dr. Tomlinson leads teams delivering care to more than 12 million patients annually across hundreds of hospitals and clinics. He also serves as President of the Vituity Cares Foundation, advancing health equity and cultivating the next generation of diverse clinical leaders.

A first-generation college graduate and former athlete, Dr. Tomlinson’s journey from emergency physician to Chief of Staff and executive leader gives him a rare and authentic perspective on patient care, organizational strategy, and inclusive leadership. Told early in his career that he had less than a 1% chance of becoming a CEO, he defied expectations—and documented that journey in his book, Less Than 1%.

This in-person event will feature a keynote address from Dr. Tomlinson, followed by a book-signing opportunity and networking with healthcare professionals and leaders from across the DFW Metroplex.
