The Clinton Foundation’s Health Matters Conference is the anchor event for the Clinton Health Matters Initiative (CHMI) during which innovations and best practices elicited from CHMI strategic partnerships are featured. The Health Matters Conference showcases corporations, non-governmental organizations, and individuals that have made a significant investment in contributing to the health and well-being of others. We have over 100 million in new strategic health investments expected to positively impact 50 million lives and are pleased to report that this is in addition to last year’s commitments to action of which ninety percent are already completed or well underway.
Another successful conference!
As the content lead of the Clinton Foundation Health Matters Conference, I work with a small but mighty dream team to make this event successful. The amount of work that goes into this event is unbelievable and everyone involved works above and beyond the call of duty. We work hard, but I wouldn’t do it if it weren’t for the team I have the honor of working with, Ginny Ehrlich’s leadership (CEO of Health Matters), the speakers I get to lead through content, On the Mark Promotions and Metro Connections (our production teams this year) and the palm trees. Palm trees do help! Photos coming soon.
We had an amazing group of speakers this year and if you missed the live-streamed event, you can watch each panel here.
