About the Event
This annual conference is a National Health Council (NHC) marquee event that brings together Chief Executive Officers, Senior Executives, Board leaders, and other leaders from the nation’s top Patient Organizations and Partners of Patient Organizations, to cultivate connections, create space for discussions on timely leadership topics, learn best practices and trends in nonprofit organization management, and discuss emerging issues in health care policy. This year’s theme is The Urgency of Now: “Think Patient”.

Who Should Attend
NHC Patient Organizations (formerly Voluntary Health Associations) and Partners of Patient Organizations (formerly Professional Membership Associations and Nonprofit Organizations with an Interest in Health) are encouraged to attend. For Patient Organizations and Partners of Patient Organizations, it is encouraged that at least one Board member accompany the organization’s CEO. Once a CEO and their Board member are registered, additional senior staff from their organization are welcome to register. We encourage attendance from as many Board and senior staff members as possible. For questions about attendance, please contact [email protected].

NHC members from the Business & Industry membership category, including nonprofit health sector trade groups, can attend with the commitment of event sponsorship. Please contact the NHC’s Manager of Membership and Development, Mary Crowther, at [email protected] for details.

This summer, the NHC Board approved new membership categories for accessibility and ease, reducing the categories from 5 to 3.
