The conversation will be live-streamed on Cleveland Clinic’s Facebook page, Cleveland Clinic YouTube Live and on our event page.

In 1979, Faulkner founded Epic in the basement of an apartment house with $70,000 in start-up money and two half-time assistants. Since that time, Epic has grown without venture capital or going public.

Faulkner received honorary doctorates from the University of Wisconsin (UW) and Mount Sinai in New York, a Master of Science degree in computer science from UW, and a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Dickinson College. After teaching computer science for several years, Faulkner then worked as a software developer, creating one of the first databases organized around the patient.

Currently serving on the UW Computer Science Board of Visitors, Faulkner is a member of the National Academy of Medicine’s Leadership Roundtable and the Aspen Health Strategy Group. She has pledged that 99% of her assets will go to philanthropy.

Cleveland Clinic’s speaker series, Ideas for Tomorrow, is virtual for the remainder of the year as a result of safety measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
