Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) March 08, 2016 -- Invest for Health, an inaugural health care event during the SXSW Interactive Festival presented by Ascension Ventures, athenahealth and Cambia Health Solutions, will feature an incredible session lineup including some of the country’s most disruptive health care leaders on March 14 at the JW Marriott in Austin, Texas.

This event will facilitate connections, spark dialogue and enable entrepreneurs and health care stakeholders to partner for success.

Bringing together entrepreneurs, health care executives and venture capitalists for conversations around real solutions to health care’s pain points, this event will facilitate connections, spark dialogue and enable entrepreneurs and health care stakeholders to partner for success. The Invest for Health program will feature the following session topics:

• Connecting the Disconnect: Fixing the Pain Points in Health Care – Featuring Jonathan Bush, CEO of athenahealth along with speakers Sue Siegel of GE Ventures and Chris Coburn of Partners HealthCare, this session will focus on the disconnected state of health care, issues that plague the industry, the climate that has allowed problems to thrive, and what the blueprint for the future looks like.

• Empathy and Impact: Revolutionizing Healthcare with Data, Heart and Soul – This session features Cambia CEO Mark Ganz and Salesforce CMO Josh Newman, and will explore the role data, heart and soul play in leveraging empathy to revolutionize health.

• Swipe Right: Creating Health Care That’s HOT – There’s pent up demand for a radically different infrastructure in health care, but “new world orders” don’t come easy. Disrupting existing infrastructure has good days, and bad – it’s been called “the long dark night of the innovator” for a reason. Matt Hermann from Ascension and Brad Perkins from Human Longevity will reveal how to survive the hard moments while creating the next generation in health care.

Invest for Health will also feature 30 minute “networking breaks” between each speaking session. Startups at any stage of development will network at Invest for Health with thought-leaders, investors and stakeholders. To learn more visit InvestForHealth.Care.
