Healthcare Leadership Roundtables
MATTER Health and ZoCo are bringing together a small group of executive leaders in healthcare, for an invite-only morning to discuss trends, challenges, and opportunities.
Why Now
The Midwest’s Healthcare Innovation Advantage
The Midwest holds much of what healthcare innovation requires: clinical and operational talent; investor and resource concentration; and proximity to health systems, payers, and employers—all within reach of one another.
What can healthcare companies build, prove, and scale here that would be harder to do anywhere else? And what is keeping the region from fully realizing that advantage? While we will explore a range of questions at our roundtable—including the ideas or frustrations you bring to the table—we want attendees to leave with a clearer sense of how this region's strengths support the decisions they are making now.
What to Expect
Real talk on real-time challenges
This is your chance to join a curated roundtable of respected senior leaders in healthcare—where you will grow your perspective, build lasting relationships, and process the challenges that matter most to you today. This exclusive, invite-only event brings together leaders for small, roundtable discussions to share tested insights, strengthen decision-making, and build community. Everyone invited has a wealth of experience, and we will tap into that to create something amazing.
After our last event, we turned the room's best thinking into a Q+A with MATTER’s Senior Vice President of Venture Acceleration, Mike McGarry, and ZoCo’s Founder & CEO, Lacey Picazo. Read the piece here.
