Lee Tomlinson

Lee Tomlinson, known as Patient Lee, is an award-winning television producer, TEDTalk presenter, and former professional athlete. During a battle with Stage 3+ throat cancer, he experienced firsthand how much compassion in care matters.

That experience led Lee to create the CARE Effect Movement, inspiring healthcare professionals to return compassionate care to the forefront of modern healthcare. Ask him about compassionate care, patient experience, or caregiver burnout.
