Health Connect South

Health Connect South is a non-profit serving as the premier platform for regional health collaboration in the Southeast. Our mission is to breakdown the silos in health, gather the top health leaders (decision makers, innovators, next generation of health leaders) from each of these silos, and create collaborations and partnerships to advance health. Health Connect South’s annual event is our largest face to face meeting with over 400 health leaders. The health topics covered are broad to create interdisciplinary partnerships but also specific in order to tackle current health challenges. This is the platform for health leaders come to hear and talk about “the new” in health, the current challenges, and possible solutions.

We have had many honorable speakers in the past including, Former Surgeon General, Dr. David Satcher, President of the American Cancer Society, Gary Reedy, Former Sect. of Health and Human Services, Dr. Louis Sullivan, Former CEO of CARE, Dr. Helene Gayle, Former President of the CDC Foundation, Charles Stokes, and many more phenomenal and powerful leaders in health. http://www.healthconnectsouth.com/hcs-speakers/.

The theme this year reflects on disrupting healthcare with a focus on the patient (consumers), healthcare delivery, and policy. We want to highlight the innovations and advances of healthcare aiming to deliver the best health outcomes. This year our focus is on 4 main topics:

1.     Disruption in Healthcare Delivery: How new innovations are assisting how individuals access
   healthcare

   2.     Skin in the Game of Healthcare: Bridging the gap between investors and healthcare

   3.     Consumers in the Driver’s Seat: How are consumers driving healthcare delivery

   4.     Access to Care: The Next Wave of Health Regulation and Reimagining Health Equity
