Featuring speakers from CVS Health, Elevance Health, and AT&T, Virta’s free, fully virtual conference kicks off October 12
Virta Health’s fully-virtual, free Moonshots for Health event returns on Wednesday, October 12. Bringing together a mix of industry leaders and Virta patients, speakers will explore bold solutions to America’s most vexing healthcare issues, including the chronic disease epidemic, health inequity, out-of-control drug prices, and care for a rapidly aging population.
The two-day lineup features keynotes and live panel discussions from 20+ top voices in clinical care, health insurance, employee benefits, and health equity, such as:
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, advances such as sweeping federal legislation to lower drug prices for older adults and massively broadened telehealth access have shown promise for an improved future of healthcare.

At Moonshots for Health, speakers will explore timely, achievable ways to address these issues and more, with topics including:

Let’s bring them to life at this event.”
Moonshots for Health 2022 is Virta’s third virtual conference, with past events garnering more than 10k attendees across the globe. This year’s full speaker lineup, agenda, and free registration are available at https://moonshots.virtahealth.com/announcement
