The Connecticut Business Group on Health’s (CTBGH) mission is to help you prepare and take full advantage of what is coming. Learn about things that you aren’t hearing anywhere else, and leave with information and knowledge that you can apply immediately.

At the last CTBGH general membership meeting our focus was on the idea of empowering employees to make better decisions about their health. We learned more about Choosing Wisely, and their work to promote better conversations between clinicians and patients.

Our April 1st CTBGH general membership meeting will introduce you to some of the vendors offering innovative solutions that bring together elements of tech, new science, and retail to create more effective and satisfying experiences for consumers. The healthcare system is experiencing dramatic changes, and you will hear from these vendors how they are driving change!
