About this Event

The Future of Healthcare Conference

Presented by Advance OC, Rady Children's Health and UCI Health

What does the future of health look like for our communities? Across one transformative day, healthcare leaders, researchers, advocates, and changemakers will come together to tackle the challenges shaping care today — and design the solutions that will define it tomorrow.

From the earliest years of life to the wisdom of older adulthood, this conference centers real people, real communities, and the bold, innovative thinking required to meet their evolving needs. Expect candid dialogue, cross-sector collaboration, and actionable pathways forward — grounded in equity, driven by evidence, and inspired by possibility.
