Keynotes
Event Focus
An estimated 80 percent of health is determined by factors
outside of the healthcare system. Improving population
health depends on networks that extend beyond the clinic
walls. This new era demands new approaches. Join us as
we connect to transform communities to improve health
and wellbeing.
Objectives
1. Showcase successful and diverse collaborations that
improve population health for all.
2. Explore nontraditional innovative approaches to
mobilize and transform communities.
3. Discuss strategies to create a sustainable culture of
health: Shifting values; changing policy, systems and
the environment; creating new narratives; and
demonstrating impact.
4. Strengthen attendees’ professional skills and
networks to enhance their success in facing real-world
challenges.
Target Audience
Stakeholders in health and wellness, including
community, health care and business leaders, program staff and
others interested in improving community health.
