Last week, Rocket Doctor's founder and CEO, Dr. William Cherniak, had the privilege of attending the ITUP (Insure the Uninsured Project) Annual Conference, a cornerstone event that shapes the future of equitable health in California. This prestigious conference is where the heart of California's health policy community comes together to envision the next steps towards achieving health equity across the state. For more than 20 years, ITUP has spotlighted influential voices in health policy, including elected officials, experts, advocates, and many more dedicated to making a difference. At the conference, discussions went deep into health equity, delving into how access to the internet, cultural considerations, and provider availability can play pivotal roles in expanding access to care for patients in need across Urban, Rural and Tribal Communities. This is especially crucial in our mission to empower health equity through technology. Imagine a future where everyone, regardless of location or background, can access quality healthcare services with just a click. At Rocket Doctor, we're not just imagining it; we're working to make it a reality.

"I really do think that it is a multidisciplinary collaborative effort, and it's not lost on me that right at this very moment, we're sitting in a room full of people that have joined together from health care, medicine, nursing, technology, public policy, and government to talk about really hard things and how to fix those things." During last year's Summit on the Future of Rural Health Care, Toni Thomas, chief experience officer and industry advisor at Microsoft, sat down with Sanford Health News and the Reimagining Rural Health podcast to discuss the future of rural health care: https://san.fo/3zrCkQ0 Conversations like this, and more, will be happening again at the 3rd Annual Summit on the Future of Rural Health Care on October 29, 2024. This year's event will focus on "pioneering innovation in a shifting landscape," bringing together some of the most dynamic and influential voices in health care, technology and business.
