ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
As zip code remains a key predictor of health in the United States, health disparities surrounding access to care and health outcomes continue to plague many American communities. These disparities add $320 billion to healthcare spending in the U.S. annually and could top $1 trillion by 2040 if left unaddressed. CHI’s Annual Health Equity and Innovation Symposium brings together leading healthcare executives, physicians, researchers, patient groups, academics, authors, clinical trial professionals, and non-profit leaders in a collaborative forum to discuss health disparities and innovative solutions to achieve health equity by improving access and outcomes for all communities. Focusing on the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities, the 2-day symposium features live panel discussions, workshops, keynote discussions, and networking opportunities. Key opinion leaders and symposium participants will discuss (1) Rural health and social drivers, (2) AI and patient-centered care, and (3) What’s next in the field of health equity. This 2-day event also aims to address the broader health disparities that disproportionately impact marginalized communities in the U.S. Participants will learn the latest insights and industry-tested solutions, share new ideas and perspectives, and meet new industry and marketplace colleagues.
