Heartland Healthcare Leadership Summit

In partnership with the Kansas Leadership Center, we are piloting a new pre-conference event this year.
The Heartland Healthcare Leadership Summit will bring together healthcare executives, physicians, administrators, public health leaders, educators, and community partners from across the Midwest to explore innovative solutions to today's most pressing healthcare challenges.

The Summit will open with remarks from Ed O'Malley, President and CEO of the Kansas Health Foundation, and will feature sessions on leadership development, health policy, ethics, workforce development, artificial intelligence, rural health, and systems transformation.

​We have an incredible lineup of regional leaders discussing topics that matter to the Heartland and the nation.
