Capping off a great few days at my first #HLTH2019. Grateful for all that I learned and time spent with some of my favorite people in healthcare, plus new connections who are as passionate about the future of health as @BrianDSimz and I!

“There are a lot of great ideas [at #HLTH2019], but the biggest challenge is scale.” - @annewoj23. IMO @23andMe is a great success story on this front, but there’s still more work to do around consumer perception and trust of how their genomic data is being used.
I keep hearing at #hlth2019 that it is the only conference other than JPM that has payers, providers, investors, plans, and pharma. Every time I wait for them to say PATIENTS but it never happens. Please include patient speakers on main stage!!

“One of the greatest lies ever told to the American people is that insurance is a proxy for wellness.” Speak your truth @mcuban #HLTH2019
Bold ambition of @GanzMark at @Cambia to use human-centered design to solve problems in our healthcare system. Particularly love the focus on improving access to, and education about palliative care, to support patients who are just “put on the cure train.” #HLTH2019
