“One of the region’s most influential health care conferences, underscoring the city’s role as an important health care hub in the Southeast.” – The Atlanta Business Chronicle

 

The mission of Health Connect South is to serve the health community as a platform to promote health collaborations. It brings together the region’s top decision-makers, innovators and next-generation health leaders. The 2024 edition, the 11th Annual Gathering, is September 18th at the Georgia Aquarium.

“We carefully craft an annual program to shine a very bright spotlight on some of the amazing ways our health community is working together. We hope that by bringing together the top innovators, decision-makers and next-generation of health leaders we can serve as a catalyst for forming new collaborations. As we have seen with pandemics and great health advances, we all count on health organizations to work together.” – Health Connect CEO Russ Lipari.
