WELCOME
On behalf of the Health Care Club at Harvard Business School, it is our pleasure to welcome you
to the 19th Annual Health Care Conference: “The New Where for Care: Health at Home.” We are
honored that you joined us today.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022
AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted not only how, but also where we took care of our physical and
mental health. Across the entire health care ecosystem, from primary care centers to hospitals
to fitness studios, health care providers and managers turned their focus to where everyone was:
at home. Seeing this shift, we asked ourselves: How can patients and consumers benefit? What
factors influence adoption? How are payers accelerating uptake? How are investors changing their
theses and decisions? We are excited to bring together leading subject matter experts, change-
makers, and future leaders for a day of thought-provoking discussion and meaningful connections.
We would like to extend our special thanks to the many individuals that have contributed their
time and talent to making this year’s conference a success. To our keynote speakers, panelists,
and moderators, thank you for your enthusiasm, your time, and your expertise. To our generous
sponsors, the HBS Health Care Initiative, the HBS Health Care Alumni Association, and HBS faculty
and staff, thank you for all of your guidance and support in making this conference possible in the
face of an unprecedented global pandemic. To the students involved in organizing the conference,
we are very grateful for your hard work and commitment. And finally, to all of our attendees, thank
you for joining us, in person and at home. We hope you enjoy the conference.
Sincerely,
Rebekah Foster and Kimi Goldstein
