The Health Care Impact Investing Summit will be held virtually on August 19-20. Here are some highlighted features of the upcoming event:
A kick-off keynote panel
Day one will jump start with a keynote panel on the trends and opportunities in health care impact investing. The panel moderator, Tony Berkley, vice president, impact & responsible investments, Prudential Financial, Inc., will be joined by Curt LaBelle, managing partner, Global Health Investment Fund; Ben Bynum, M.D., portfolio director, program related investments (PRI), The Colorado Health Foundation; and In Seon Hwang, co-founder and CEO, Ascend Partners.
Panelists will discuss impact investment and risk management in the health care industry; share key factors investors should consider amid COVID-19; explore how to measure, evaluate, and manage impact investing opportunities with broader impact investing tools; and discuss how to set up a bulletproof impact fund and effectively track impact.
Insightful case study outcomes
Christopher Ausura, chief of special projects, Health Equity Institute, RI Department of Health, will lead a conversation between featured speakers on best practices for funding and sustaining social determinants of health (SDoH) efforts. Presenters will discuss lessons learned for successful community partnership investment opportunities, barriers to financing targeted SDoH investments, and investment worthy opportunities that arise in vulnerable populations.
A case study to understand how impact investors, venture capitalists, and private equity firms develop a successful health care evaluation strategy will be presented by Chris Ho, associate director, Vickers Venture Partners, and Byron Haney, senior Director, Huron Consulting Group. Ho and Haney will share how to determine which areas of health care are investment worthy for each unique audience, offer benchmark practices to develop a successful evaluation strategy, and discuss which financial levers are critical to success from each vantage point.
Interactive panel discussions
LaBelle will return to moderate a panel discussion about the keys to measure the impact of health care investing. Panelists will explore the balance between financial returns and health outcomes, discuss how far to measure the effects of an intervention, and evaluate risk and return for impact investing in health care.
A panel discussion on the shift to whole person health care will be led by Rev. Alexander Plum, MPH, CHES, director, clinical & social health integration, Henry Ford Health System.
