The in-person Health Evolution Summit 2021 at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point, CA, is sold-out — but seats remain for executives looking to participate in the event digitally.
“We are thrilled to extend the insights and discussions among this unique gathering of CEOs from across the Health Evolution Community to more registrants than space exists for in Laguna this year,” said Richard Schwartz, President, Health Evolution. “We know executives are eager to compare notes, sharpen priorities, and collaborate at this stage in the pandemic to address the weaknesses in our system that have been exposed.”
The Health Evolution Virtual Summit 2021 takes place Aug. 25-27. Learn more.
The theme for the Summit is Resetting the Agenda – Leadership Imperatives Emerging Post-Pandemic. Within that theme, Summit discussions will feature perspectives from top executives leading health plan, health system and life sciences organizations to address topics including:
-
- Economic and policy outlook
- Bolstering health system resilience
- Incorporating and integrating new technologies
- Innovations in care models and consumer offerings
- Confronting the mental health, affordability and equity challenges in earnest
- Payer, provider and life sciences perspectives
Steve Klasko, MD, President & CEO, Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health, will serve as the Master of Ceremony for the Summit.
Given the critical juncture the U.S. is facing with respect to the COVID-19 Delta variant, the Health Evolution Summit 2021 programming will focus first — starting Wednesday morning in a conversation between Andy Slavitt, former White House Senior Advisor and Chairman Emeritus, United States of Care, and David Brailer, MD, Executive Chairman, Health Evolution — on the most up-to-date situational assessment and immediate priorities. Subsequent discussions with CEOs will address best practices and important opportunities for this distinguished group of executives.
