”Many of us in health care are trying to solve some of the hardest challenges around equity or driving towards health. But we often need to hear what are some of the great ideas that are out there and how do we move towards the future together? I remember when we were thinking about equity. Equity is a hard topic and when we built the Health Equity Pledge, I think that is really helping drive alignment in what we are doing. I really credit the Health Evolution Forum in putting those ideas on paper and saying, ‘hey, this is the direction we're going to head.’

”Part of the issue in health care has been that we have a broken, sort of fragmented, expensive system, and it's partly because we don't talk to each other. So the ability to be able to have folks from the top payers, top health systems in the country and really the founders that really matter in the AI world. It's not just that put 'A' and 'I' in the same sentence. These are folks that are really bringing it together and having some of these conversations outside of the main stage that really gets us folks together is really special and that doesn't exist in most places.

”The mental health needs in our country were great, and our ability to meet those needs were inadequate pre-pandemic. Since the pandemic, we've just seen the need for mental health access, care and technology accelerate. Where better than at Health Evolution to have this conversation where leaders are coming together to solve problems.
