10TH ANNUAL
COLORADO HEALTH INNOVATION SUMMIT
Thursday, May 18 - Friday, May 19 | Denver Athletic Club
The 2023 Colorado Health Innovation Summit was amazing!
Thank you for attending, promoting, participating, and helping to make our 10th annual Innovation Summit another memorable, motivational, and educational experience. We’re proud to celebrate a decade of inspiring, energizing, informing, and connecting communities of friends, colleagues, and fellow collaborators.
Once again, key players in Colorado’s health innovation ecosystem and from around the nation— incredible speakers like Lt. Gov. Dianne Primavera, Kim Bimestefer, Mannat Singh, Toni Baruti, Sofi Bergkvist, Kirk Barnes, Stephen Konya, Dr. Robert Groves, Stephanie Pugliese, Kathryn Redhorse, Michael Archuleta, Shawn Beals, Cari Frank, and so, so many more— gathered to consider how innovation and collaboration can advance health equity and shape the future of health care.
We were pleased and proud to welcome a delegation of Federal agency representatives focused on all aspects of healthcare, health IT, and health innovation, as well as national leaders speaking on topics such as investing in equity-driven health innovation, large system and payer perspectives, cutting-edge technology, human-centered design, consumer advocacy, and so much more.
KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING
We hope you were inspired by our speakers, sponsors, and fellow community members, who remind us each year that improving healthcare is a journey, not a destination. Traveling the path requires ongoing engagement, conversation, collaboration, and staying involved. Colorado is a national leader in health innovation largely because we understand that each of us, no matter our title, role, income, or industry, has a voice, value, and role to play in shaping the future of healthcare.
The work can’t and won’t stop here.
Keep the momentum going by following, supporting, donating, engaging, promoting, innovating, & contributing.
