Reaching our Moonshot Goal
as a Movement

Last year, you joined us in committing to ensuring a high quality of life for 12 million people with serious illness by 2030.

The challenges we face are unparalleled. It is essential that we gather as a movement to discuss the actions we will take to support those with serious illness. The Summit is a hub for leaders of all backgrounds, united by a passion for supporting the sickest and most vulnerable among us.

If you're not at the Summit, your voice is not being heard.

Open Dialogue and Collective Action

Change begins with a conversation. During interactive shared learning sessions, Summit attendees share their experiences and come away with practical strategies they can apply to the patients and families they serve.

Attendees are also encouraged to use the Summit as a platform to commit to action. The Summit is your chance to announce bold, new initiatives that transform serious illness care in your community.
