“The time really has come for the healthcare system, specifically when it comes to chronic diseases like pain, cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome, to take a different approach to how we run interventions, incentivize stakeholders and measure success. Discussing new interventions such as disease prevention technologies and behavior modification programs at the 2012 WHCC illustrated just how strong of an appetite there is for solutions that drive health improvements to patients and savings to the system.“

“The sessions were well attended, the only disappointment being a healthy desire by the attendees to extend each session for another several hours! For the agenda was well conceived as an almost seamless plot of interrelated topics, and the speakers brought authoritative insight into the challenges of sustaining innovation in today's cost-sensitive, risk-averse healthcare environment.”

"I attended the World Health Congress for the first time this year. From the pre-conference reception to the last session, I found the conference incredibly informative and helpful. Our company is considering an expansion in a new area of service. We not only got leading-edge information regarding this next possible initiative, but heard from the CEO from one of the companies we are considering as a vendor. I could not have gathered this information on my own in a thousand years. Thank you World Health Congress! We are already signed up for next year. -Jim L"
