Boards That Care Retreat

Monday and Tuesday, September 9 and 10, 2024

Boards That Care Conference September 9-10 2024 at Santa Clara University


 

The United States hospital system is in dire straits. What can you do to change the narrative, and influence and guide the strategic direction of the organization you govern? How can you build skills to truly become a steward of care, effectively balancing fidelity to mission with fiscal viability?

Register today for Boards that Care. Attendance is limited, so act now. The event on September 9 and 10 at Santa Clara University will bring together Board members from health systems throughout the U.S. Keynote speaker Don Berwick, MD, President Emeritus of the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, and other health system transformation experts, will offer their perspectives about why and how healthcare must change. The event will be notable for its heavy focus on interactive workshops and applied learning for Board members. 

 Attendees will leave the event being able to:

  • Articulate the need for overall healthcare system change
  • Describe the unintended consequences of current business practices on patients and clinicians' ability to care for themselves and for their patients
  • Hone skills related to ethical decision making and strategies for disagreement/dissent in the Boardroom
  • Evaluate measures/data that could be helpful to advancing care

The retreat will take place at Santa Clara University, home of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, in partnership with The Patient Revolution, founded by Dr. Victor Montori, Professor of Medicine at Mayo Clinic, and author of “Why We Revolt.”  

We look forward to working with you to enhance a culture of care for all.
