Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Summit

Connecting Health Professionals and Legislature in the Greater Philadelphia Area

City & State PA’s regional Healthcare Summits are the ideal incubators for the public and private sectors to collaborate on how to improve the delivery of healthcare services. These curated events feature policymakers, healthcare organizations and advocacy groups within the healthcare industry, each spotlighted in two separate panel discussions. Attendees will learn about the solutions for the region’s elder care crisis, innovations in primary care delivery, new programs to support our most vulnerable populations, and innovations in healthcare technology.

The Greater Philadelphia Healthcare Summit will address these topics and more as our live panels dig into different aspects of the region’s healthcare challenges and opportunities. Like all of City & State’s policy summits, this event offers industry executives, public sector leaders and academics the opportunity to debate critical issues and develop solutions that will benefit all stakeholders.
