The National Health Council (NHC) is hosting its annual 2021 Health Leadership Conference (HLC) virtually on Wednesday, February 10 and Thursday, February 11. Registration is now open! 

The NHC’s Health Leadership Conference is an unparalleled event where the executive leadership and boards of directors of health-related organizations, including a broad spectrum of patient advocacy organizations, gather to collaborate on emerging health sector issues and share best practices. 

This year’s virtual format will allow us new flexibility and more opportunities for engagement. 

Our 2021 keynote speaker will be Jon Levy, a behavioral scientist and author, best known for his work in the fields of influence, community/customer engagement, and adventure. Levy is affiliated with C-Lab and specializes in applying research to transform the ways companies approach marketing, sales, consumer engagement, and product development. He also founded “The Influencers”, a secret dining experience and community, whose participants include more than 1,400 leaders across industry, ranging from Nobel laureates, Olympians, and celebrities, to executives, editors-in-chief and royalty. In 2016, Levy released his first book, The 2 AM Principle: Discover the Science of Adventure, which explores the science of living a fun, exciting and remarkable life.  

Sessions at the upcoming Health Leadership Conference include Emerging from 2020 – The Future of Philanthropy; CEOs: The Future Office – Assessing Your Commercial Real Estate Needs; and more. Attendees will hear about the latest trends in health care policy, how to prepare for the future, tactics for collaboration across the health ecosystem, and other important topics from expert patient advocacy leaders.  

This event is for NHC members only. For patient advocacy organizations, it is required that at least one board member accompany the organization’s CEO. Once the CEO and Board member(s) are registered, additional senior staff are welcome to register and attend. The NHC encourages attendance from as many Board and senior staff members as each member would like to attend.  

Please contact Susan Gaffney for more information about the meeting or about NHC membership.
