His topic is “Inclusive Leadership: Leveraging Diversity as a Strength.”
In recent years, organizations have been making more intentional efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Afternoon Session 1: 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM:
“The State of Healthcare: Industry Leader’s Perspectives”
Numerous public policy and legislative issues around healthcare delivery and public health affect healthcare organizations and demand the involvement of their leaders to respond and make improvements. These issues often relate to improving population health, access, and coverage through Medicaid and other programs, improving value, addressing consumer issues and workforce shortages, and more. Learning these issues and being involved in policy and organizational responses is important for healthcare leaders, regardless of how directly they may be involved.

“It’s All About Vision: The Role Vision Plays in Your Strategic Planning Process”

In this session, panelists will look at the various means available and the magnitude of efforts required to develop a new vision. They’ll also discuss the difficulties in developing a longer-term vision in healthcare and the benefits of having a comprehensive vision, versus a single sentence or tagline.
