In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Ed Kopetsky, retired CIO for Stanford Health, to discuss the critical issue of addiction, a major career and family derailer today. Ed, who lost his son to an opioid overdose, shares 17 years of frontline experience, sharing invaluable insights on addressing addiction within families and communities. There is no one I know who is better to provide guidance on dealing with addiction within a family. He has been on the front lines of the addiction battle for 17 years. He lost his 31 year old son, Tim, to an overdose in 2017. Before he retired, he served as the Chief Information Officer at Stanford Health’s Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital and Stanford’s Children’s Health. He has served as the Board Chair for the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) and he is the founder and serves today as the Co-Chair of the CHIME Opiod Task Force. He was awarded the John Gall “CIO of the Year Award” awarded by CHIME and HIMSS. CHIME CEO Russell Branzell has called Ed “one of the most courageous people I know.” Kopetsky is now focused on mentoring families whose lives have been turned upside down with drug addiction.
