About the Summit

The Healthcare Innovation Summit (H.I.S.), hosted by The Leverage Network, is more than a conference. It is a strategic gathering of leaders, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and changemakers committed to shaping a more equitable and sustainable future for healthcare.

At a time when healthcare systems and communities face growing complexity, widening disparities, and unprecedented transformation, H.I.S. convenes the voices and visionaries bold enough to reimagine what healthcare can become — and who it must serve.

Rooted in TLN’s mission to advance leadership, innovation, and opportunity across the healthcare ecosystem, the summit creates a powerful platform where ideas become partnerships, conversations spark solutions, and influence drives impact.

More than a convening, H.I.S. is where executive leadership, breakthrough innovation, strategic investment, and cross-sector collaboration converge to shape the next era of healthcare.

H.I.S. sits at the intersection of:

  • Innovation and equity
  • Leadership and governance
  • Entrepreneurship and investment
  • Strategy and social impact

Where Healthcare Leaders, Innovators, Investors, and Entrepreneurs Come Together to Build What's Next.

Why This Summit Matters

Healthcare stands at one of the most pivotal moments in its history.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping clinical care. Venture capital continues to redefine the pace of innovation. Health systems face unprecedented workforce, financial, and operational challenges, while policymakers, entrepreneurs, and community leaders seek scalable solutions that improve outcomes for all.

Meeting these challenges requires more than innovation—it requires collaboration.

The Healthcare Innovation Summit exists to accelerate those connections by bringing together executive decision-makers from across health systems, corporate healthcare, startups, investment firms, academia, government, and philanthropy to explore the ideas, partnerships, and investments shaping healthcare’s future.
