"As the Summit continues to grow annually, we are honored to have the support, collaboration, and vision of the HealthWell team to bring together like-minded communities who put patient needs above all else. HealthWell's longstanding commitment to mitigate the challenges patients face in accessing proper medical care has a tremendous impact on not only the patient, but the patient advocate community as well. We applaud HealthWell for their tireless efforts to ensure that no patient goes without critical medical care and look forward to working with the team as we continue to identify new ways to make the patient journey less cumbersome."

"We are excited to increase our partnership with the Healthcare Advocate Summit team for our third consecutive year for this must-attend event," said Krista Zodet, President and CEO, HealthWell Foundation.
