Health Connect South is a first-of-its-kind sustainable platform for regional health collaborations.
Health Connect South was created to build a first-of-its-kind sustainable platform for regional health collaborations. Though the southeast is home to world-class health assets, there is surprisingly little interdisciplinary clarity around areas of focus, impact, needs and capacity within and among these assets. We believe such heightened clarity accelerates new opportunities for geographically advantaged collaborations while unlocking important advances in health.
Since 2014, Health Connect South has presented an annual collaborative event centered on highlighting important challenges and key opportunities throughout our healthcare ecosystem by creating the right “tone” and “texture” for this gathering. We are specifically looking to attract leading innovators, decision-makers and top-tier students. Invited individuals represent groups of investors, inventors, academics, clinicians, entrepreneurs, economic developers, NGOs and other vital health interests.
The mission of Health Connect South (HCS) is to bring together top health leaders and innovators in the southeast to engage in collaborative conversations on changing the health landscape, create a deeper understanding and ongoing connection between health assets and highlight the region’s status as a vibrant hub for advancement in health. As such, HCS exists as a springboard to enable a deeper relationship between industry silos, which, if framed properly, could foster unique and meaningful growth opportunities in health.
The grand vision of this organization is to facilitate a permanent conversation around collective innovation and to broadly define and refine the Southeast’s role in the future of health.
Health Connect South (HCS) is a non-profit organization that strives to serve as an “on-ramp” to collaboration among healthcare decision makers, innovators, and emerging leaders to strengthen and shape the health landscape for years to come.
