Health Evolution announces Confab 2022

Health Evolution announced the next Health Evolution Confab. The in-person event will take place September 15-16, 2022 in Nashville at The Joseph Hotel.

“The Confab has a rich history of gathering a passionate group of executives committed to values-based leadership and addressing the most pressing issues at the intersection of health care and the broader society,” said Richard Schwartz, President, Health Evolution. “Coming off of a candid and inspiring Health Evolution Virtual Confab 2021 last week — with a special focus on diversity, inclusion, and health disparities — we are eager to continue the conversation across the coming year and to reconvene in person in Nashville in September of 2022.”

The most recent Health Evolution Confab, in fact, took place April 13-14, 2021 where executives shared insights and experiences leading amid multiple crises, working to advance equity, addressing racism and poverty, developing strategies for the post-pandemic world and discussed how leadership itself is evolving as they tackle today’s hardest problems.
