2018 Conference Recap
On December 5-7, 2018, over 650 complex care innovators from across sectors and across the country gathered in Chicago for the third annual Putting Care at the Center conference.
For three days, attendees networked, learned from other innovators, and shared how they and their colleagues are helping to transform systems and improve care for people with the most complex health and social needs
“Complex care begins at the intersection of the healthcare and social service sectors,” said Camden Coalition CEO Kathleen Noonan in her opening remarks. “What we’re trying to do defies the expectations of the healthcare system as we know it.”
“The thing about the people in this room is that we know a secret—the universal need for care,” keynote speaker Ai-jen Poo said. “We need a story about who we are and what we’re for that draws a circle around all of us.”
