A Gathering of Thought Leaders

The Executive Leadership Series

Now in its third year, Health Integrated’s Executive Leadership Series is a gathering of health plan executives, national policy thought leaders and health management experts who share ideas, perspectives and real world solutions to some of the most challenging issues facing health plans today.

Held twice a year in beautiful locations across the country, this event gives executives a chance to network, learn and discuss topics of key importance in a dynamic, yet relaxed, setting.

The network opportunities and the ability to speak with well known healthcare leaders, made this summit an A+. – An ELS Attendee

Thriving in a New Decade of Healthcare
ELS Spring 2010 – April 15-16, St. Petersburg, FL

ELS Spring 2010: April 15-16, 2010

As the U.S. health insurance industry enters a new era, it faces new opportunities to thrive. Health plans that are best positioned to excel in the coming decade are those that effectively leverage partnerships, find innovative ways to serve and manage their changing membership, and understand how pending reform, in whatever form, will redefine their services. The nation’s top health plans, including many of Health Integrated’s partners, are focusing on implementing strategies that reduce costs and create greater value for their members and customers, and are communicating their successes to a much broader audience – including Washington DC – strengthening their position as vital contributors to improving the health of our nation.

Join health plan executives and healthcare industry experts in an active, two-day forum to discuss strategies to not only overcome a challenging and changing healthcare marketplace, but also to thrive in a new decade of healthcare. Participants will share experiences of successful health management initiatives and explore innovative ways to improve member outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and become most competitive in their markets. Held at the beautiful Vinoy® Renaissance® Resort & Golf Club on the waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg, FL, this Executive Leadership event is a fantastic venue for idea exchange, networking with peers and thought-provoking discussion.
