Our time together is 90 minutes. The first hour is designated for the event, and the remaining 30 minutes are for Networking Conversations. You can join us for the event, networking, or both. Your choice!
Event Description
What will it take to build a system that truly supports health for everyone?
Our current healthcare system struggles to deliver even the basics of primary care, especially in rural, underserved, and marginalized communities. But the challenge runs deeper than access alone. To create real health, we must ask bigger questions:
🔸How do we design a system that creates health rather than reacts to illness?
🔸What workforce, payment structures, technologies, and connections are required?
🔸How do we integrate primary care with specialty care, behavioral health, public health, and social supports?
🔸And critically, how do we ensure this system reaches and serves everyone?
Join us for a collaborative conversation that moves beyond fixing what’s broken. This isn’t about tweaking primary care or longing for how things used to be. It’s about reimagining how we structure, fund, and deliver care to support health and equity at scale for today’s realities and the future we want to create.
This one-hour session is not just a panel; it’s a dialogue. We’ll hear from innovators and thought leaders pushing boundaries and advocating for system-level transformation. More importantly, we’ll hear from you and others joining the event.
Key themes we seek to explore (time permitting!):
🔸The system-level factors that shape what care is possible
🔸Interdisciplinary approaches to healing and health
🔸Promising efforts already in motion (e.g., Direct Primary Care, PC4AA, and others)
🔸What it might take to shift from reactive sick care to proactive health creation
🔸How each of us can support or spark meaningful change
Why Attend?
🔸Learn from bold efforts already transforming care
🔸Contribute your insights into an engaging, co-created conversation
🔸Connect with others, asking the same hard questions about health and systems
🔸Stay for our post-event Networking Conversations to deepen relationships with fellow Ruckus Makers
Who Should Attend?
🔸Anyone working in or impacted by healthcare, which means all of us
🔸Especially those in care delivery, systems design, policy, community health, funding, and innovation
Whether you’re a healthcare professional, policymaker, innovator, patient advocate, or someone passionate about the future of care, your voice belongs in this conversation.
This is your invitation to shift from fragmented reform to collective reinvention.
Let’s talk about what’s happening now, what’s needed next, and how we move forward—TOGETHER.
What are Networking Conversations?
🔸Participants are sent into break-out rooms of two to three, randomly selected by Zoom.
🔸Seven minutes allow for brief introductions. It is up to you to exchange contact information and follow up if you wish for a more extended conversation.
🔸The group returns and is quickly sent into break-out rooms again.
🔸This continues until our time is up.
