In an era when the healthcare industry faces unprecedented challenges—from workforce shortages to financial strain, political polarization, and shifting public trust—hope and adaptability are more essential than ever.

He will share how each of us can tap into the power of hope as a strategic tool to navigate uncertainty and take meaningful action to protect and promote public health, even in an era when it is increasingly under attack. Drawing from his national leadership experience, Dr. Murthy will highlight how we can transform fear into action, setbacks into opportunities, and division into unity. This keynote will inspire Americans to approach challenges with courage and clarity, creating healthier and more resilient communities across the nation.
