Welcome to Integrated Care Summit 2026: Bridging the gaps to whole-person care

Thank you for your interest in submitting a proposal!
Join us for a first-of-its-kind interprofessional symposium uniting medicine, dentistry, behavioral health, public health, and policy to advance *whole-person care*. This immersive two-day event goes beyond theory—equipping you with practical, everyday actions that transform how teams collaborate and how patients experience care.

What This Event Is“Bridging Health” is more than a conference—it’s a hands-on learning experience designed to break down silos across disciplines. Through plenary sessions, workshops, and real-world case studies, participants will explore proven strategies for integrating oral, medical, and behavioral health systems to improve outcomes and equity.

Why It MattersPatients don’t experience health in parts—so why should we practice that way? Integrated care strengthens prevention, early intervention, and management of chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression. By aligning clinical workflows, communication, and education across professions, we move closer to a truly coordinated care model that serves the whole person.

Why You Should Apply to SpeakWe’re seeking forward-thinking professionals to share actionable insights, models, and innovations that bring integration to life. Whether your work involves care delivery, education, technology, or policy, your expertise can inspire new collaborations and equip peers with practical solutions. Selected speakers will gain national exposure, CE credit alignment, and the opportunity to shape the next era of interprofessional care.

Who Should ApplyThis program welcomes **dental hygienists, dentists, physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, behavioral health professionals, pharmacists, educators, public health experts, administrators, and students**—anyone passionate about connecting systems to deliver better patient care.
