“This was by far the best RISE event I have attended. It had great speakers- including influential gov't agency heads- and didn't feel vendor-driven. It's so critical to decouple events that focus on the social drivers of health/health equity from corporate interests, and this was a rare conference that hit the spot.”

Director of Healthcare, Benefits Data Trust

“My experience has been terrific. The speakers have been phenomenal, the opportunity to network with likeminded individuals has been amazing, and I’ve really enjoyed meeting partners that can help us find solutions to the problems that we’re all tackling in SDoH.”

Director of Health Equity, CVS Health
