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 if the key to fixing healthcare isn’t about spending more, but spending smarter? 

In the book Switch, researchers uncovered a surprising truth: in a Vietnamese village facing widespread child malnutrition, a few mothers had quietly figured out how to keep their children healthy.  These outliers—positive deviants—offered simple, replicable practices that saved lives.   

That same search for hidden solutions is exactly what Emily Peters is doing in healthcare economics! 

Join us as Emily workshops her upcoming book, "Money Remaking Medicine," in a live conversation with Matthew Holt, self-proclaimed ‘Healthcare Curmudgeon’, and our HRC community. 

The plot twist: What if America's massive healthcare budget could actually become part of the solution? We're not short on money—we’re short on models that use it well. 

We're tracking down the bright spots:  

🔸Payment models that reward what actually matters  

🔸The "fair process" that gets physician investment in decisions 

🔸Tax tweaks and corporate structures that flip incentives  

🔸Communities using capitalism as a tool for health equity  

🔸Those rare moments when costs dropped AND outcomes improved 

Emily's mission: "Tell me something I don't know." 

While the headlines scream about burnout and broken incentives, we're finding places where the money already flows toward primary care, prevention, and better patient outcomes. 

The opportunity: Americans love a deal AND we love innovation. Someone's figured out how to deliver both in healthcare—we just need to find them, study them, and scale what works. 

Think your community is doing something that works?  

Come be part of the positive deviant detective team with us! Let’s find what’s working and figure out how to spread it. 

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.
