The event, titled &#8220;Make Healthcare Great Again,&#8221; focused on efforts to digitize health records and eliminate cumbersome paperwork in medical settings.

It remained a mystery who held the position until press secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3329828\/white-house-insists-musk-not-head-doge-declines-identify-leader\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"revealed\">revealed<\/a> to the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that it was Gleason.<\/p>\n<p>According to public records, Gleason had been a senior adviser to the United States Digital Service since January<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">, the organization that the Trump administration transformed into DOGE<\/span>. And according to Gleason&rsquo;s LinkedIn profile, she also served as a digital services expert for the then-USDS during the first Trump administration from 2018 to 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, little was known about her role and how much authority she had.<\/p>\n<p>Gleason enjoyed a low profile as DOGE was thrust into the spotlight and Musk and Trump eventually fell out. But she reappeared at the healthcare announcement this week.<\/p>\n<p>She began her remarks by recognizing her daughter, who was seated in the audience and was diagnosed 15 years ago with a rare disease that left her seeing multiple doctors. <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;At some point, she couldn&rsquo;t stand up off the floor or walk up the stairs, and we still had no answers,&rdquo; Gleason said. &ldquo;I carried a binder of paper records to every doctor&rsquo;s appointment so that I could keep them aligned. I truly believe that if one of those doctors had been able to see her whole history, they would have diagnosed her faster.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Gleason also said that artificial intelligence could have &ldquo;connected the dots&rdquo; that various doctors missed.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Her disease is very rare, but her experience is very common,&rdquo; Gleason added. &ldquo;And that is what we&rsquo;re here to fix today.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-transform:uppercase\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3486501\/trump-nancy-pelosi-investigation-stock-insider-trading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Trump calls for Pelosi investigation over insider trading: &lsquo;Disgraceful&rsquo;\">Trump calls for Pelosi investigation over insider trading: &lsquo;Disgraceful&rsquo;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trump and Kennedy insisted that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/libby-emmons-biden-issues-transhumanist-executive-order-to-remake-human-beings-to-achieve-societal-goals\/\" title=\"Libby Emmons: Biden Issues Transhumanist Executive Order to Remake Human Beings to &quot;Achieve Societal Goals&quot;\">digital medical records<\/a> would be voluntary for patients, who can choose not to participate in the system if they desire.
