COVID changed the landscape of healthcare forever. It catalyzed us forward and forced us to rethink how we handle healthcare challenges and opportunities. 

Join us as we discuss Where We Are Now and What Comes Next as we navigate healthcare in a world changed by COVID. Due to COVID, many vital functions of health care lost a direct focus as time, money and resources were shifted elsewhere to fight the novel Coronavirus. As we start to see the light at the end of the tunnel with COVID, we want to shine a spotlight on those areas.  

Our spring webinar series will highlight why the renewed focus is so important, what new or expanded issues have arisen and most importantly what new technology solutions there are now in: 

Elective surgery

Obesity/Metabolic Health

Healthcare Analytics 

AI and Diagnostics  

Mental Health/Substance Use Disorder

Costs associated with delayed care and provider inefficiencies 

Each of our featured companies will present their yesterday and today solutions and hints at tomorrow and how they are leading the charge in their respective areas.
