Join thought leaders from mental health, substance use, and the greater
health care field in beautiful and easily accessible New Orleans to
examine disruptive innovation and its implications for behavioral health
leadership in an era of high-stakes health reform. At the 2011 Summit we
will move through the "what" of disruptive innovations to address the
"So what?" and "Now what?" intersections that will drive our field
forward.

 

Our Summits go to the heart of critical policy and practice issues.
Results are really useful at the national level. - Ron Manderscheid,
Executive Director, National Association of County Behavioral Health and
Developmental Disability Directors
