Since 2017, the MedHealth Summit has transformed the way healthcare innovation is discovered, sourced, and delivered in Michigan and Ontario. On April 16, 2024, the summit brought together 200 participants for thought-provoking speakers and curated matchmaking. The summit is a welcoming, barrier-free environment where meaningful connections can be made within our healthcare ecosystem.
This event also featured presentations and networking with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Representatives from several agencies will demystify how attendees can work with federal government, explaining the priorities and differences between each agency, how they support innovation, and how you can engage with them.
