In the pre-pandemic era, CCI regularly hosted summits that encouraged individuals to embrace innovation to compete in the rapidly changing health care ecosystem and address the evolving needs of their communities. ?

Today, we’re bringing back this popular event so that we can once again get to know one another in an analog sort of way. We’ve had enough of screens and virtual life. We believe our health care safety net gets stronger with each connection we make and innovation we share — and that requires some face-to-face connection. ?

The Safety Net Innovation Summit will gather changemakers working in organizations serving historically underinvested and marginalized communities — providers, community leaders, entrepreneurs, technologists, funders, payers, and more. Folks on the ground are often also ones with the best solutions. So we equip attendees with the skills, inspiration, collaboration opportunities, and promising practices to reimagine and restructure health care systems.

We're thrilled to have?AllianceChicago, ILN, and Alameda Health Consortium?organizing the event with us. Save the date and we'll be back soon with more information!
