Innovation & Investment in Healthcare: The Health ImpACT Virtual Kickoff
The May 14 HealthInno NM event is moving virtual — which means more of the right people in the room.
This event is designed for healthcare leaders who are thinking about how their organization shows up — as a partner, an investor, or an early adopter — and how a new statewide effort makes possible.
New Mexico healthcare is building a new way to innovate, and healthcare leaders are invited to help shape what comes next. With state support, HealthInno — New Mexico's health tech innovation studio and statewide health innovation network — is launching Health ImpACT: a way for healthcare organizations to explore and pilot startup technologies from New Mexico and beyond.
This kickoff brings health system, clinic, payer, and community leaders together to dig into what healthcare-led innovation looks like in practice:
The national view: Stephen Konya, Chief of Innovation & Strategic Partnerships at HHS ONC, on how high-functioning healthcare ecosystems are structured — and what New Mexico can put into practice now.
How health systems are showing up as investors, incubators, and innovation engines — and what that model could look like here.
From pilot to partnership: Chief Consumer Officer Erwin Cho (Kaiser, Blue Shield of California, Presbyterian Healthcare Services) on what healthcare organizations and startups should consider before working together.
New Mexico founders solving national healthcare problems — companies building solutions to workforce, care coordination, and access challenges many of you are actively navigating.
A first look at startup technology matched to NM healthcare priorities, sourced from what leaders across the state have said they're facing.
What's in motion across New Mexico — academic medical center innovations, state agencies, rural health, technology investment.
An open dialogue on barriers, opportunities, and what it will take to sustain innovation here — with live input shaping what Health ImpACT prioritizes first.
We'll close with initial shared priorities, what participation can look like for your team, and 2–3 concrete next steps to take back to your organization.
