The National Summit and Healthy10 Awards Ceremony will take place at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, 1615 H Street, NW, Washington, DC on Wednesday, February 15 and Thursday, February 16, 2017.
The 2017 Health Means Business National Summit, hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, is a two-day event to showcase the powerful lessons learned from the campaign on a national stage. It will convene high-level thought leaders, innovators, and influencers from the ranks of business, government, nonprofits, health organizations, academia, and the media, to discuss the correlation between our nation’s competitiveness and the health of our citizens. The summit is the capstone of the first two-years of the campaign, and will highlight and create business-led innovations around improving community health. The National Summit will feature high caliber keynotes, insightful panels, a small group breakout session, and a variety of networking and physical fitness opportunities. We will also unveil original research and highlight the campaign’s Health Champions Network.
