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
From eliminating mercury in medical devices to bringing integrative medicine into the mainstream to mobilizing patients as partners in transforming care, healthcare has seen real transformation before. How did these movements take root, grow, and succeed against the odds, and what can today's changemakers learn from them?
Join the Healthcare Reinvention Collaborative for a lively, story-rich discussion with leaders who've helped drive systemic change. We'll explore the lessons, strategies, and human connections that make a movement unstoppable.

Why This Matters
We may feel locked in a broken system, but that is a mindset we need to break. When people unite around a shared vision—whether eliminating toxic substances, integrating holistic approaches, or putting patients at the center—real change in healthcare is possible.
Big shifts happen when relationships, trust, and shared purpose drive the work. From grassroots environmental health campaigns to patient-led care transformation, lasting change requires authentic human connection.
Understanding the "how" of past movements can accelerate today's efforts for reform. These leaders will share practical strategies for educating and equipping care activists, building sustainable organizations, and influencing policy.
Collaboration across disciplines and sectors is key to addressing root causes, not just symptoms. Whether it's environmental toxins, fragmented care models, or dehumanizing healthcare cultures, systems-level problems require movement-building solutions
Join us to connect with changemakers, learn what's worked before, and discover how we can apply those lessons to the movements shaping healthcare's future—where careful and kind care becomes the ultimate measure of success for everyone.
What are Networking Conversations?
Participants are sent into breakout 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 breakout rooms again.
This continues until our time is up.
