2019 Indiana Health Workforce Summit:

Workforce Alignment in the Health Sector 

Each year, the Bowen Center hosts an annual Indiana Health Workforce Summit. The 2019 Indiana Health Workforce Summit will occur on Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at the Indiana Government Center South located at 10 N. Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Indiana. Our vision is for the Summit to serve as a forum for learning, discussion, and collaboration for stakeholders from all perspectives and sectors. The theme of this year’s summit is Workforce Alignment in the Health Sector.

The Summit will include presentations and discussions on the demand drivers for the health workforce (population health and employer needs) and policy levers that are critical to alignment (including: occupational regulation, education, and reimbursement). We are grateful for the generous support of our state partners and are honored to be able to host this event at a low rate for all attendees, and at no cost to individuals with a “.gov” email address.
