The corrected release reads: HEALTHCARE'S TRILLION DOLLAR TRANSFORMATION COMES TO LIFE AT MEDIFUTURE Senior leaders convene to accelerate change, experience health and wellness innovation What would be possible if every American had access to patient-centered, consumer-driven, and value-based healthcare? The Oliver Wyman (News - Alert) Health Innovation Center (OWHIC) and the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation enlisted six of the nation's most innovative health market companies and their partner organizations to answer this question with "living" exhibits that demonstrate the future of the health and wellness market in Tampa this September 16-18 at MediFuture 2024, an exclusive invitation-only event.
"Over the years we've learned that to really understand how effective new care models can be, you have to experience them in person," says Tom Main, partner and U.S. market leader for the Health & Life Sciences practice of Oliver Wyman and managing director of OWHIC. "It's not practical to fly our guests all over the country to view the best that U.S. healthcare has to offer, so instead we are bringing the best of U.S. healthcare to Tampa. You'd have to spend weeks and travel thousands of miles to get the experience we're providing over the course of a few days." "This September, Tampa will be the epicenter of medical innovation," said Rick Homans, President and CEO of the Tampa Hillsborough Economic Development Corporation. "Hundreds of industry leaders will converge in our community to experience the future of healthcare at MediFuture, and with this carefully curated program of speakers, exhibits, and immersion tours, we're providing them with a unique forum to collaborate and escalate the pace of change." In addition to the exhibits, MediFuture will include:
