The Believe in Better Project

It began in 2017 as a concept to curate a gathering of innovators focused on fixing what’s broken in healthcare. For the last five years, it has brought together some of North America’s leading visionaries, each of whom believes pioneering change in healthcare for the better is central to their purpose.

Today, the Project continues its mission by bringing together people who are making a difference in the world with people who want to make the same impact. On the Believe in Better Project podcast, guest speakers share personal stories about human triumph, transformation, health, humanity and joy. Each of these personal journeys has led them to create “better” in the world, and inspire others to follow.

The pandemic threw our already broken health care system into chaos. It asked us to draw on everything we had in the face of overwhelming adversity. It tapped into our resilience in ways we never dreamed possible and it’s taken the fight out of some of us.

“It’s inspirational. It showed such different and pioneering thoughts on how we can change health care, and made it personal. Each story needed to be told, and it undoubtedly left an impression on all fortunate enough to have been there.”
