Welcome to HealthCampRDU: Cultivating the Care Culture!
HealthCampRDU will once again be a highly-collaborative, day-long conference with a focus on issues and opportunities related to the changing face of healthcare. The event takes place on Wednesday May 23rd, 2012*.
Health industry experts, thought leaders, practitioners, technologists and consumers will converge to openly exchange views and ideas in a think-tank atmosphere on a variety of topics including, mobile health, telemedicine and social health at the Marbles Kid Museum, 201 E Hargett St, Raleigh, NC 27601
We will have a Keynote speaker to kick off the day with a short “firestarter talk” s and then plan to have sponsors provide 4×4 presentations. These 4x4s are 4 slides in 4 minutes that address an important healthcare issue. The 4x4s will be grouped around themes and will be accompanied by discussion sessions to explore issues and challenges.
After the 4×4 sessions we will enter in to an agenda setting session where the participants set the agenda fro the rest of the day. After all HealthCamp is about the participants setting an agenda that reflects their interests and passions.
Follow us on Twitter (@HealthCampRDU) as we announce the additional keynote speakers and provide other important updates.
In the true spirit of collaboration, HealthCampRDU invites you to lead conference sessions on any aspect of healthcare that’s relevant to the community. In addition to the keynote, we’ll host a series of breakout sessions. In the weeks leading up to the event, we encourage you to submit your own topic proposals, below.
HealthCamp is focused on the discussion and not presentations. We want to create an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.
The cost is $35 per person this includes providing breakfast and lunch during HealthCamp.

84 x 4 slides: Title: “There’s never been a more important time to incorporate prevention-focused employee wellness than now”.
With rising costs, the medical community is now, more than ever before, moving their focus towards prevention of chronic disease vs. only the treatment of disease. Employers who understand and embrace this know that in order to totally get their employees on a track to better health, they must encourage them to get a comprehensive, prevention-focused physical exam and to establish a relationship with a primary care provider.
