“We are excited to bring a new, more expansive learning format to our members at the Connections Education Summit. This year, we have doubled the number of education sessions, which are focused on improving care delivery, patient safety and clinical outcomes. These peer-to-peer educational presentations bring fresh ideas to common challenges along with opportunities to network with colleagues from our diverse membership,” said Byron Jobe, president and chief executive officer for Vizient.

In addition to educational sessions led by industry experts, conference attendees will hear from several guest speakers.

Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and CNN chief medical correspondent, will serve as the keynote speaker at the event’s opening general session Tuesday, Sept. 17. In addition to his work for CNN, Dr. Gupta is a practicing neurosurgeon at the Emory Clinic and the Associate Chief of Neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. At the event’s opening general session, Dr. Gupta will paint a picture of the importance of extending the art of care to yourself, so you can in turn extend it to others.

Michael Leavitt, founder and general partner of Leavitt Partners, will be the featured speaker at the general session on Wednesday, Sept. 18. Leavitt served as Governor of Utah for three terms (1993 to 2003) before occupying two roles in the Cabinet of President George W. Bush: Administrator of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (2003 to 2005) and Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services (2005 to 2009). Leavitt is currently focused on the advancement of value-based health care through Leavitt Partners, is a noted author and frequently appears as an opinion leader in TV and print media.

The event’s closing keynote speaker on Thursday, Sept. 19 is playwright, actor and educator Anna Deavere Smith. The MacArthur Foundation honored Smith with the “Genius” Fellowship for creating “a new form of theatre — a blend of theatrical art, social commentary, journalism, and intimate reverie.” In her speaking events, Smith discusses the many “complex identities of America” and interweaves her discussions with portrayals of people she has interviewed to illustrate the diversity of emotions and points of view on controversial issues.

Following her presentation, we will hear from Vizient President and CEO Byron Jobe and Toby Cosgrove, MD, executive advisor, Cleveland Clinic, in a discussion on the humanity of health care in today’s increasingly complex environment. Dr. Cosgrove is the former president and CEO of Cleveland Clinic, serving from 2004 through 2017. During that time, he led the health system to new heights of achievement and efficiency, seeing it ranked the No. 2 hospital in America in U.S. News & World Report magazine.

The Vizient Connections Education Summit is made possible by the generous support of US Foods, who serves as the event’s Diamond sponsor and Sysco which is the Ruby sponsor. Platinum sponsors include AbbVie, DeRoyal, Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC, Kimberly-Clark, Konica Minolta, Medline, Owens & Minor and Halyard Global Products, PepsiCo and Standard Textile.
