Civitas Networks for Health today announced its 2024 Annual
Conference will take place Tuesday, October 15 through
Thursday, October 17, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan. Under the theme
‘Bridging Data and Doing’, this year's gathering is not only poised
to unite Civitas’ 170+ member organizations, but also bring health
transformation and health data professionals from across the
country together, fostering a collaborative environment to explore
the vital synergy of increased data sharing to drive meaningful
action.
"We are thrilled to host the 2024 Civitas Annual
Conference in Detroit, a city known for its resilience and
innovation,” said Lisa Bari, CEO, Civitas Networks for Health.
“This year, we aim to prompt increased collaboration by sharing
practical insights into what is working in communities throughout
the country. 'Bridging Data and Doing' epitomizes our commitment to
increased health data interoperability while using data to
transform understandings into tangible, impactful health
improvements. Our conference is where industry leaders and
practitioners collaborate, engage in meaningful dialogue, and drive
forward the future of health and health care.”
Building upon the momentum of last year's event,
this year’s conference, in partnership with Civitas’ members in the
upper Midwest region, will spotlight regional innovation and
opportunities to create national impact in advancing health equity,
public health improvements, addressing social determinants of
health and unmet health related social needs through data-informed
multistakeholder approaches.

member organizations: Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Health
Impact Ohio, Illinois Public Health Institute, Indiana Health

Introducing the Keynote Speakers &
Agenda
The conference agenda will feature expert keynote
speakers, each offering unique insights on turning health data into
meaningful health care outcomes. The first confirmed keynote
speaker is Roselyn Tso, Director of Indian Health Service (IHS),
Department of Health and Human Services. Civitas is looking forward
to remarks from Director Tso as we aim learn more about IHS’ data
modernization priorities, tribal outreach, and coordination on
health and health care issues unique to tribal nations.
Why Attend?
Civitas 2024 is more than just a conference and
tradeshow; it is an opportunity for attendees to actively engage
with industry leaders through small group discussions, hands-on
activities, and informal chats post-keynote presentations. It is
also an opportunity to be part of a community that not only
discusses, but also acts at the critical intersection of health
data and public health improvement. In a more intimate setting than
large industry conferences, with expected attendance between
600-800 people annually, attendees will have the chance to take
part in:
- Engaging panel discussions and breakout sessions with industry
experts.
- Cutting-edge insights into the latest trends in health IT and
interoperability in states and regions.
- Networking opportunities with a diverse array of health and
health care professionals, technologists, and policymakers.
- Interactive workshops focused on implementing effective
strategies that translate across communities.
