Last year’s participants had this to say about the Annual Meeting:
“Everyone was very welcoming. I learned a lot about the emerging field of patient advocacy and believe the work you are doing is essential for improving patient experiences as they navigate the healthcare system.”

“You guys rocked on the event!!!! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The connections I made were exceptional."
