RISE Rebrands Annual Summit to Highlight Community Health Focus

Healthcare conference organizer RISE has announced a strategic rebranding of its annual summit, renaming the event to RISE Healthy Communities. This change reflects the organization's decade-long mission to create more inclusive and comprehensive healthcare approaches that address social determinants of health (SDoH).

The rebranding signals a continued commitment to bringing together diverse stakeholders from healthcare, government, and community organizations to develop strategies that improve health outcomes for all populations. By focusing on the broader context of health beyond medical treatment, RISE aims to highlight the critical role of social, economic, and environmental factors in individual and community wellness.

Over the past ten years, RISE has positioned itself as a critical platform for exploring innovative approaches to healthcare delivery. The organization has consistently worked to help health plans understand and address not just medical conditions, but the underlying social factors that significantly impact health outcomes.

The new name, RISE Healthy Communities, directly communicates the organization's holistic approach to healthcare. It emphasizes the importance of meeting individuals where they are, regardless of their background, and creating comprehensive care models that consider physical, mental, emotional, and social needs.

As RISE approaches its 10th anniversary in 2026, the rebranding represents a forward-looking strategy to continue driving meaningful changes in the healthcare landscape. By unifying voices across different sectors and providing a platform for collaboration, the organization seeks to promote more equitable and effective healthcare solutions.

The reimagined summit will continue to offer both in-person and virtual connections, allowing healthcare professionals, policymakers, and community leaders to explore and develop strategies that can create lasting positive change in community health.
