ABOUT THIS YEAR'S SUMMIT
All eyes are on the outpatient, primary care setting where clinicians
and staff are developing new, team-based, whole-person approaches to
physical, social, and behavioral health for patients, in collaboration
with community services and supports. With a changing health care
landscape and a continuing shift to value-based care, Summit speakers
and sessions will highlight efforts across the country to improve care
for individuals and populations; focus on health, well-being, and equity
across diverse communities; and ensure health professionals and staff
have the supports and resources they need to achieve these broadening
goals.
