The 14th Annual Digital Health Summit

Bridging the Gap: Digital Health and AI for Smarter Care,
Stronger Teams, and Sustainable Healthcare

June 24, 2026

The future of healthcare isn’t on the horizon—it’s here.

Join us for CTRC’s 14th Annual Digital Health Summit, a high-impact, no-cost virtual event that brings together healthcare changemakers—from C-suite visionaries to clinical and operational frontlines—to explore how artificial intelligence and digital tools are reshaping care delivery in real time.

This year’s theme, Bridging the Gap: Digital Health and AI for Smarter Care, Stronger Teams, and Sustainable Healthcare, centers on the practical deployment of AI to close gaps in access, reduce administrative burden, and tackle the chronic disease crisis at scale.

With chronic conditions accounting for 90% of the $4.5 trillion in annual U.S. healthcare spending, the stakes couldn’t be higher—and the time for smart, actionable innovation is now. CTRC is leading the charge, equipping healthcare organizations with the knowledge, tools, and training to deploy AI responsibly, maximize digital investments, and ensure their teams are not just ready—but confident—navigating this new era.

You’ll hear from national thought leaders, technologists, and frontline staff who are turning today’s challenges into tomorrow’s breakthroughs including in rural California. Sessions will spotlight AI-driven efficiencies, workflow automation, specialty care access, and whole-person care models, all tailored to high-burden, high-cost conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Whether you’re designing the future or adapting to it, this summit is your chance to:

  • Learn from trailblazing experts and real-world implementers
  • Connect with peers across roles and regions
  • Access concrete, scalable strategies for transformation
  • Be part of a movement to level the playing field in healthcare

We have secured sponsorship to ensure access for all provider and their team members. Registration is free. Transformation starts here.
