FORTUNE Brainstorm Health: Building Resilience
As we resurface from a year like no other, our by-invitation-only conference is continuing to build a powerful community of leaders at the crossroads of business, health care, technology, and innovation.
The sixth annual Brainstorm Health conference will focus on “Building Resilience.” As much suffering as COVID-19 has caused, it has also provided some hard-earned lessons. We’ll explore these insights and the key innovations, technologies, and inspirational collaborations that emerged in the past year. How can we build resilience into a health care system strained to the breaking point? How is the private sector driving change and even revolutionizing our approach to public health? And how can we make ourselves more resilient?
We’ll address these questions head on—as well as revisit the challenges of mental well-being, behavior change, and the social factors that determine the health of our communities. As always, we’ll have a few surprises in store and plenty of opportunities to engage with other leaders. We promise that this Brainstorm Health will be our most enlightening and exciting yet.
