Whole Health and New Models: How Integrative Care Is Closing Gaps and Delivering Value
As healthcare systems grapple with rising costs and persistent gaps in patient outcomes, integrative and whole-health approaches are emerging as a powerful complement to conventional care. This panel brings together leaders at the forefront of this shift to discuss how models that treat the whole person are moving from the margins into mainstream care delivery, drawing on real-world examples from primary care, behavioral health, and chronic disease management, and addressing how these models reduce fragmentation and close care gaps, what the value equation looks like, and what workforce, reimbursement, and policy shifts are needed to scale them sustainably.
The “Yes” List: What Healthcare Leaders Are Funding Right Now
With budgets tighter and stakes higher than ever, healthcare leaders are being more deliberate about where they place their bets. This session brings together executive health leaders alongside innovators from the technology sector for a candid, forward-looking conversation about what’s actually making the cut—and why. Panelists will share where their organizations are actively investing, which categories of innovation are accelerating fastest, and what separates a pilot that stalls from one that earns lasting budget and buy-in. The discussion will also explore how healthcare and technology partners are evolving their collaboration models to move faster together, offering attendees a practical, insider’s view of the priorities, proof points, and partnership strategies shaping where dollars flow next.

11:00 – 12:30 PM — Afternoon Keynote

How to Land Your Next Role
Whether you are job hunting, considering a career pivot, or looking to grow within your current organization, this session will deliver practical tips for standing out—from sharpening your resume and interview approach to building the visibility that leads to promotions. Panelists will share real-world advice on navigating today’s job market and knowing when it’s the right time to make a move, leaving attendees with actionable takeaways they can apply right away.
The Cost of Inaction: Strategic and Cultural Misalignment in Health Systems
The cost of cultural and strategic misalignment in healthcare is measured in billions of dollars and the organizational erosion that undermines a health system’s ability to deliver high-quality patient care—arising when the values and behaviors of frontline staff, management, and executive leadership diverge, driving compounding costs across workforce burnout, patient safety, operational efficiency, strategic execution, and reputation. This session explores how leaders can recognize these patterns, quantify their true cost, and take practical steps to close the gap.
