Questions about Health Action 2019?
Contact us at healthaction@mmsmeetings.com
Working together, we are stronger. That’s why Families USA brings together community leaders from across the nation each year to improve the lives of America’s families. In 2019 we will meet for the 24th annual Health Action Conference on January 24-26, in Washington, D.C. at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
No other national grassroots health care conference brings together the swath of consumer activists and policymakers to inform, engage and inspire America’s health care agenda. We will be rolling up our sleeves to greet a new Congress and state legislatures in 2019.
Many Americans care very deeply about health care reform. The fight for America’s health can only be won with bipartisan support from both congressional leaders and the health care community at large. The Health Action Conference will give attendees the opportunity to not only network with experts and health care professionals from across the country, but also assess the impact of their current advocacy strategies. Three days of learning from inspiring state and national leaders will inspire and motivate participants to strengthen their efforts in working towards comprehensive health reform.
Health Action 2019 is hosted by Families USA with active support from a wide range of advocacy and enrollment groups across the country. We know you will want to join us in the nation’s capital this January to fight for America’s families and make comprehensive health care more affordable and accessible for all.

Strategies for Improving Health Care Delivery Reform for the 21st Century
Description: For too long, the United States Health Care System has failed to meet the needs of families and consumers, particularly those who are most vulnerable. Health care costs are ever-increasing, quality and health outcomes are suboptimal, and the system is fragmented. The health care system must transform to meet the needs of consumers, particularly those who are most vulnerable. This plenary session features a panel of national experts to discuss the importance of transforming the health care system and how consumer health leaders can be catalysts of that transformation.
