That's a wrap on our Kansas City and Nashville City Tour Dinners! ??? Community is at the heart of healthcare innovation, and our recent #229Project City Tour Dinners in Kansas City and Nashville proved that once again. Two cities, two nights of incredible conversations and connections. In Kansas City, our leaders dove deep into AI implementation, data governance, and the ongoing debate of point solutions vs. EMR native apps. Nashville brought equally engaging discussions around cybersecurity, supply chain challenges, talent management, and organizational change management. What stands out most? The power of bringing healthcare leaders together in person. These dinners create the space for candid conversations that drive real progress in our industry. A huge thank you to our chairs Sean R. and Samme Diaz (Kansas City) and Andy Heins and Steven Ramirez (Nashville) for helping orchestrate these meaningful gatherings. Next up: We're heading to Palo Alto (3/31) and San Diego (4/1) to keep the momentum going. Who's joining us? https://loom.ly/v_2xtKE

The difference between fragile and unshakable teams isn't just about who's on the team - it's about how they work together when challenges arise. In #HealthIT, where the stakes are constantly high, the strongest teams aren't those that avoid conflict. They're the ones who've learned to embrace healthy conflict in ways that actually strengthen trust. Having a culture of honor transforms how teams approach internal challenges - moving from avoidance to engagement, from talking about each other to talking with each other. What could your team accomplish if internal issues no longer drained your energy and focus from your mission? #TeamTransformation #LeadershipSuccess #CultureofHonor Drex DeFord Sarah Richardson Meghan Trevorrow Bill Russell
