New York
Health Forum
The New York Health Forum was founded to strengthen healthcare partnerships and knowledge sharing around the world, supporting innovation and collaboration in global medicine and life sciences.
Following the motto scientia potentia est (“knowledge is power”), the NYHF brings together knowledge from industry experts, academia, medical and research facilities, service providers, financial investors, as well as policymakers to further the scope of healthcare. Expert knowledge has fueled unparalleled development of the health industry, and moreover has empowered the growth of one of the most rapidly changing fields of the 21st century.
By coalescing professionals of various backgrounds, the NYHF serves to foster discussion on the significant agendas and public concerns present in healthcare today, with the further goal of contributing to society and public health.
