Star-studded keynote speakers
John Quiñones
Emmy-award winner John Quiñones will deliver a keynote presentation at 2 p.m. Monday, June 29, the first full day of the conference, that focuses on the importance of believing in one's self, never giving up, and always doing the right thing.

Jeff Henderson
The following day, Celebrity Chef Jeff Henderson will share his inspirational life story and lessons for success. Henderson is the star of the nationally syndicated series, Flip My Food with Chef Jeff, where he prepares healthier versions of favorite family and restaurant recipes.

He’ll tell his emotional story of how he overcame all odds at 9:05 a.m., Tuesday, June 30.

Executive coach and celebrated artist, Allison Massari, will follow with a presentation about the importance of compassionate care and how to transform lives through the art of person-centered care.

10. View tribute to health care providers lost on the frontline of COVID-19
This year, in recognition of the life work of the late Dr. Martin L. Block, an expert in the risk adjustment industry who had a passion to improve patient care, RISE honors doctors and nurses who have contracted and died from COVID-19. We believe Dr. Block, who died in October 2013 of brain cancer at the age of 62, would support our decision to memorialize these health care professionals who succumbed to the virus. You can view the tribute wall under the Tribute to Frontline Workers tab in the event.
