Thanks for an amazing 2021 Colorado Health Innovation Summit!

September 15th & 16th | virtual & in person

The 8th annual Colorado Health Innovation Summit was everything we hoped it would be! We were excited to reconnect (vaxxed, socially distanced, and as safely as possible) in person after a tough year for all. As we reunited at the Summit, we shared and compared ideas and lessons learned, as well as explore dwhat’s next for our industry.

Hosted annually in partnership by Prime Health and the Governor’s Office of eHealth Innovation (OeHI), the Innovation Summit connects innovators and healthcare leaders from a variety of backgrounds including federal and state leadership, urban and rural health systems, investors, funders entrepreneurs, technologists, and more. This year’s theme was operationalizing health equity through innovation and collaboration.

This year’s summit was a two-day event Wednesday, September 15th & Thursday, September 16th, with virtual and in-person programming. Innovators from around Colorado and across the nation joined us both days on the virtual platform hopin and in-person Thursday at the Church Ranch Event Center in Westminster, CO. Friends and colleagues recharged in a beautiful indoor/outdoor setting and discussed the inspiring work happening in the healthcare community.
