Former NTSB Chair Chris Hart, Wife Visit JHF
Christopher Hart and his wife, LeeAnn, met with Jewish Healthcare Foundation (JHF) staff during a visit to Pittsburgh on April 3. Hart, a lawyer, pilot, and former chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, is the founder of Hart Solutions LLC, where he works as a consultant to help improve transportation automation safety, workplace safety, and process safety in potentially hazardous industries. In 2023, he served on the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology Working Group on Patient Safety, which released its recommendations to the President last fall that included the creation of a National Patient Safety Team to oversee patient safety at the federal level. Hart currently serves on the board of The Joint Commission. LeeAnn, whose family hails from Pittsburgh, had a long career at the Federal Aviation Administration and shared about her current volunteer work in hospice and as an end-of-life doula. During the visit, JHF staff shared about the Foundation's history and focus areas, with a particular emphasis on patient safety initiatives and learnings from the recently held Safety Innovation Summit. Hart shared his perspective on lessons from the transportation sector to advance safety in health care.
