We pride ourselves on bringing you the most current and thought-leading material at our conferences. This year, we are doing a deep dive into conversations on how healthcare IT plays a crucial role in the patient experience. This engaging opportunity for health IT professionals, executives and technology partners to come together to have focused conversations ranging from information security to data and analytics, the evolving digital consumer experiences and health IT practice through the experiences of leaders tasked with running healthcare systems across the Commonwealth. Join us for our largest event of the year as we encourage learning, fostering, sharing and connections, in this breathtaking setting with the state’s top health IT experts, technology innovators and providers. Please plan to join us, October 15 – 16, at the Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg. Save the dates!

Our health workers continue to face a mental health crisis. We must do more for those working tirelessly to save lives, often at great personal risk. Help us reauthorize and increase funding for the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act (HR 7153/S 3679). #HopeForHealthcare #LeadForLorna #StandWithLorna #HowAreYouReally #StopTheStigma #ShineTheLight
