Forward by Design: Purpose-Built Innovation for Health Systems and Startups

Innovation in healthcare doesn’t just happen—it’s built with purpose. From early-stage ventures to system-wide transformation, the future of healthcare belongs to those who can design, test, and scale meaningful solutions.

Forward by Design brings together a diverse mix of healthcare leaders—startup founders, investors, executives, and intrapreneurs—to explore how innovation can thrive in both entrepreneurial and institutional settings. This two-panel event offers practical insights for those looking to drive impact, whether they’re launching something new or reimagining what’s already in place.

We are proud to offer 3hrs of ACHE In-Person (formerly Face to Face) credits to earn or maintain Fellow Status with ACHE at this event.

Panel 1 (1PM-2:30PM): From Idea to Impact — Health Care Entrepreneurship in Action

Panel II (3PM-4:30PM): Innovating from Within — Intrapreneurship in Action

Networking Reception to Follow (4:30-6:00)
