Health systems are vast and mind-blowingly complex. But healthcare delivery is extremely personal. The second annual Utah Healthcare Solutions Summit will explore the interplay between the individualized care patients receive and the giant forces within healthcare, from Big Data to personal genomics and from consumer transparency to re-aligning physician incentives.

Personal genomics and biotechnology company 23andMe will keynote the Utah Healthcare Solutions Summit, which will be held on September 13 at The Grand America. 23andMe offers personalized genetic reports, including a genetic snapshot of your health and ancestry.

The summit will also include the annual Utah Business Healthcare Heroes Award Luncheon, celebrating excellence and innovation within the healthcare system. The honorees include physicians who go the extra mile, administrators who’ve helped transform their organizations, compassionate volunteers and others who have made a meaningful impact on healthcare in Utah.
