Powerful connections. Inspired action.

The Confab is an intimate community of leaders committed to driving change by elevating dynamic, diverse voices leading health care. The Confab community of both women and men has honest conversations on the toughest leadership challenges and unpacks major societal issues impacting our industry. The 2021 Confab was an invitation-only virtual gathering that highlighted initiatives to address racial diversity in leadership to accelerate health equity. Similar to our in-person gatherings, the Confab agenda is designed to invigorate our thinking and create relationships to fuel corporate performance and impact.
