The rest of our time will feature enlightening topics and presentations to help us envision where the next decade of healthcare innovation will lead — and how to prepare for it.

Employer Case Study:
Designing Benefits that Support Women's Health
June 20, 2024 | noon-12:30 p.m. (ET) 
Lumen Technologies fosters a diverse and inclusive culture through its employee resource groups (ERGs), such as Women Empowered. Participants have opportunities to network, mentor, and take advantage of professional development opportunities, as well as raise awareness and advocate for issues that matter to them.

Lumen's premise is that women's health and wellbeing is not only a personal matter, but also a business imperative. Healthy, happy employees are more productive, engaged and innovative, contributing to their own success and that of their families, communities, and the company and its customers. 
This event will conclude with an interactive Q&A.

The newest edition is the third update, which includes organizations that participated in previous versions and additional organizations that offer digital services. The emphasis is on helping readers understand the range of services and vendors available to them.
