Dr. Amanda Wilson Joins The Washington Post Health Care Council

Dr. Amanda Wilson, who is the CEO and Co-Founder of NorthStar, a remarkable entity in technology-driven, evidence-based addiction treatment, has been appointed to The Washington Post Intelligence Health Care Council. This exclusive group ranks among the most influential leaders and policymakers in the health care field, fundamentally shaping the direction of American medicine.

The Washington Post has established WP Intelligence, a unique suite of premium services designed to arm senior executives with insights and connections to effectively navigate pivotal issues. This council operates independently, separating its activities from the newspaper's main newsroom, and includes invitation-only Councils across various sectors like AI & Tech, Health Care, Energy & Climate, and Global Security. Dr. Wilson’s recent inclusion was highlighted in the newspaper’s print edition.

Dr. Wilson articulated the current state of American healthcare, stating, "Health care in America stands at an inflection point, and the decisions we make today will define the system our children inherit tomorrow." She highlighted the staggering number of over 49 million Americans facing challenges related to alcohol and substance use disorders, stressing the need for action. "The cost of inaction is measured in lives, families, and futures," she warned, emphasizing her commitment to innovative, evidence-based solutions.

NorthStar, under Dr. Wilson’s guidance, has taken ambitious strides to modernize addiction treatment. The organization has developed a fully virtual, year-long program that utilizes pharmacogenomic testing, medication, nutrient repletion, and remote monitoring approaches to address addiction at its biological roots. The results from NorthStar have been impressive: an astounding 85.7% success rate among patients and a Net Promoter Score of 88.2, establishing a new benchmark for alcohol and substance use disorder care.

The growing support for NorthStar comes from an array of high-profile backers, including former U.S. Representative Patrick Kennedy and renowned life strategist Tony Robbins, who have rallied behind Dr. Wilson and her innovative strategies. Her placement in The Washington Post’s council strengthens her influence and highlights her role as a central figure advocating for the evolution and elevation of behavioral health care standards in the U.S.
