Foundation Day

From Challenges to Connection: How Opportunities Become Innovation

Foundation Day 2023, one of the longest-running continuing medical education events in the state of Illinois, is focusing on the future. Our presenters will be examining the important challenges faced when providing world-class healthcare. When we see that our challenges are merely opportunity, we can then make the necessary connections to achieve innovation.

Hear from thought leaders who’ll present their views and insights – along with their expertise and advice – on how to connect opportunities to innovative solutions. Join us for this important conversation and engaging education meant to inspire our everyday work.
