Award Winning Journalist, New York Times Best-Selling Author and Cofounder of @SU2C, @katiecouric, has taken the #Breakthroughs24 stage for the closing General Session, “United Hope: In the Business of Saving Lives.”
About @SU2C, the nonprofit that she cofounded, and the importance of advancing health equity:
“Our whole model is based on collaboration and not competition - we need to do so much more to make sure that patients have access to healthcare.”
- @katiecouric
“We’re at a pivotal moment, a real inflection point - AI can not only help people discover and detect disease early, but it can also be predictive... I think it’s incredibly exciting.”
- @katiecouric
“We have to flip the narrative and meet the consumer where they are: on social media. As a provider, if you aren’t on there in a meaningful way - being truth tellers, simply and reliably - someone else is taking care of your patients.”
- @drgnayyar
For this morning's General Session, @ssaha001, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs, took the stage to give a Washington, D.C., update. #Breakthroughs24
When asked about practical tips for improving lifestyles:
“Sleep well, meditate, move and have a diet that is minimal in manufactured, refined and processed foods.”
- @DeepakChopra
“We are in the business of humanity, and when we look to the future of what generative AI and other new technologies can do, we need to look at what we’ve implemented today and what we’ve done wrong.”
- @drgnayyar, Former Chief Medical Officer, Salesforce & AT&T
In this session, @UHhospitals shared their transformation model: believe, belong, build.
Thank you to Peter Pronovost MD, PhD, FCCM, and Jennifer Gonzalez, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, for sharing the power of living and leading with love in the healthcare setting. #Breakthroughs24
Premier President and CEO, @AlkirePremier is delivering the opening keynote of #Breakthroughs24:
“Every week, I get to experience the joy of visiting Premier members and suppliers across the nation — from urban centers to rural communities. Woven into the fabric of every community, you are all a tapestry of resilience and compassion.”
The future of healthcare will not be created by one person. It won’t be revolutionized by just one system or institution. Our country’s best tomorrow requires the commitment of a community – gathered and united.
To our members, suppliers and Continuum of Care Community, it is our pleasure to welcome you to #Breakthroughs24!
