RISE Rebrands Flagship Summit to Highlight Health Equity Focus

Health care conference organization RISE has announced a strategic rebranding of its flagship summit, renaming it RISE Healthy Communities. This change reflects the organization's ongoing mission to create more comprehensive and equitable healthcare approaches that consider social determinants of health.

Over the past decade, RISE has worked to bridge gaps in healthcare delivery by bringing together diverse stakeholders from health plans, government agencies, and community organizations. The renamed summit underscores the organization's commitment to understanding healthcare beyond traditional medical treatments, focusing on physical, mental, emotional, and social factors that influence individual and community health.

The rebranding signals a significant evolution in how healthcare professionals approach patient care. By emphasizing 'Healthy Communities', RISE highlights the importance of holistic strategies that address underlying social conditions that impact health outcomes, such as income, education, and access to resources.

As RISE approaches its 10th anniversary in 2026, the name change represents a continued dedication to driving meaningful transformation in healthcare. The organization has consistently provided platforms for healthcare professionals to explore innovative strategies for creating and measuring programs that promote lasting health improvements.

The new summit name encapsulates RISE's core philosophy: meeting people where they are and developing inclusive healthcare models that recognize the diverse needs of different communities. This approach aims to ensure that all individuals, regardless of background, have opportunities to lead healthier lives.
