The market size for population health management is projected to grow to $91.4 billion by 2026, reflecting the growing momentum in the shift from fee-based services to value-based care. Hear from industry executives and leaders sharing their insights on this topic at INVEST Pop Health, a virtual and free conference, in collaboration with New Orleans Business Alliance, scheduled for November 15-16.

One panel discussion at the conference will be: Improving health equity demands collaborative approach.

Traditionally, medicine and healthcare have been paternalistic with large health systems focused inward. But the pandemic laid bare deep inequities that cannot be solved by a single organization alone. Learn how community workers, patients are working collaboratively to address systemic racism and health inequity.

Speakers include:

Judith C. Lenane, Chief Clinical Officer and executive vice president, products, iRhythm Technologies

Jasmaine McClain, principal, Health Equity Alliance, The Health Management Academy
