If healthcare is on your agenda, this day should be, too.

On April 7, executives from across the region will step away from daily demands to focus on the bigger picture: workforce pressures, system strain, shifting expectations and what it will take to move forward.

The Leadership in Healthcare Summit, hosted by Training & Workforce Innovation at WSU Tech and the Kansas Leadership Center, is designed for decision-makers who don’t often get uninterrupted time to think, connect across organizations and explore practical approaches to complex challenges.

With less than three weeks to go, now is the time to secure your spot – and block the day.
