On Thursday, June 21, Microsoft—in collaboration with other government and business leaders, foundations and thought leaders—is facilitating a forum in Washington, D.C., on cross cutting approaches that contribute to building healthy communities. Topics for discussion during the meeting will include new paradigms for business and the health of the public, as well as health, education and workforce models. A focus of the day’s conversation will be on sharing and exploring the progress and dissemination of innovative private and public approaches being developed today.
Keynoting the event will be Assistant U.S. Surgeon General, James Galloway. Among other speakers at the event, Tyler Norris, vice president for Total Health partnerships at Kaiser Permanente, will touch on examples of cutting-edge solutions for building community health.
The event, which begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, is by invitation only, but there’ll be live tweeting. Follow all of the conversation via hash tag #betterhealth.
