Traditional health care is rooted in the medical system, the information captured and care provided within the four walls of the clinic. As outcomes lag behind and costs explode, we are realizing that we need a comprehensive approach that views a person’s health holistically- addressing the socioeconomic, environmental, and behavioral factors in addition to their physical health and wellbeing. This year’s conference seeks to understand how we shift from “patient” to “person,” with the ultimate goals of improving health outcomes, lowering costs and bringing the whole person to the center of the healthcare system. We will be discussing some important topics this year such as women’s health, mental health and the importance of nutrition in overall wellness.

During the conference, there will be different forms of engagements including moderated keynote talks, panel discussions, lunch and learns, fitness classes, roundables and an innovation showcase. Additionally, there will be significant networking time during round table breakfasts & lunches, coffee chats, and a closing reception.
