OCTOBER 7-8
University of California, Irvine Beall Center for Innovation
DAY 1: Pediatric Health
Join experts in meaningful conversations centered on advancing pediatric health, addressing evolving community needs, and building the future of innovative care.
DAY 2: Older Adult Health
Join experts in critical dialogue about reimagining aging services, aligning care with community priorities, and advancing innovative pathways to support wellness across the lifespan.
Advance OC’s Future of Healthcare Conference 2026 convenes leaders, innovators, clinicians, policymakers, philanthropists, and community partners for two focused days on advancing community-based, equity-driven care across the lifespan.
Technological advances and policy changes under H.R. 1 have disrupted healthcare as we know it, especially for providers serving vulnerable children, families, and older adults. This moment demands bold collaboration and forward-thinking solutions. Our conference will spotlight innovations shaping the future of care, from early intervention tools and culturally responsive pediatric models to integrated community supports that help older adults age with dignity. Grounded in health equity and powered by cross-sector partnership, we will align data, capital, and action to ensure innovation translates into measurable impact and accessible, whole-person care for all.
What Will We Discuss?
- Digital Health Integration
- Precision Medicine and Artificial Intelligence
- The Caregiving Crisis
- Regional Plan on Aging
- HR 1 and the Future of Medicare and Medicaid
- Community Solutions for Health Equity
- Mental Health Needs across the Lifespan
- Patient-Centered Policy Action and Advocacy
- The Role of Community as the Center For Care
- Innovations in Care Delivery
The future of healthcare is community based care that empowers patients to access care on their own terms. We need to shift care from institutions to homes and neighborhoods, integrating social determinants of health, and fostering equitable, collaborative partnerships between patients, communities, and providers.
