Here’s what our attendees had to say about last year’s conference. You won’t want to miss San Diego!
“I loved networking with colleagues from across the country who face the same challenges and the opportunities to exchange ideas.”
“I appreciated the presentations and the ability to network.”
“I loved meeting other health systems with similar missions and dedication to care for the health and well-being of EVERY individual in the communities served with the highest level of care.”
“The entire event! It was exciting, timely, informative, provocative. It made me energized to get more things done!”
“It was uplifting to connect physically and ideologically with hospital leaders who are in the same boat — meaning that we are kindred spirits who share the realities of navigating turbulent health care waters, with limited resources, all while drawing upon innovative, inspired, and strategic actions to attain success. I left the conference feeling even more energized and optimistic about the potential for essential hospitals to thrive.”
VITAL2024 convenes health care experts to stimulate thinking, inspire action, and energize leaders from essential hospitals. Our learning sessions, focusing on equity, growth, and success in the evolving health care landscape, are the foundation of the VITAL2024 conference.
