”It's very important for leaders at the Summit to remember that they hold the key to policy change and accelerating progress. Policymakers only go as fast as their constituents let them.

MARK MCCLELLAN, MDDuke-Margolis Center for Health Policy

”It really takes a community if we're going to be successful in what we do. And you can't make it happen alone. And you have such a diversity of people here that are in very important parts of the system but often don't talk to or interact with each other. This becomes one of those opportunities where we can connect the dots to do a better job as a larger community.

MIKE MUSSALLEMEdwards Lifesciences

”Whenever you have an opportunity to get together with thought leaders who are doing groundbreaking thinking around innovation and automation, it's hard not to take something back home that you can actually not just think about, but implement to really improve way we take care of patients.

SUSAN TURNEY, MDMarshfield Clinic Health System
