            Event promotion and travel funding provided by:

This conference is two-fold in its mission. We will be working on strategies for a grass roots support the Partnership for Patients campaign. We will also help enable patients by providing a place to network, learn and grow as patient advocates that focus on health policy. You can read more about this on our website Partnership With Patients

The funding model for this event is the STONE SOUP method.  Please give what you can and take from this event the energy you need. 

We have no federal funding and no grants.  Cerner has graciously agreed to provide the space for our event in their educational building.  The Society for Participatory medicine is our non-profit partner.  They have agreed to create a Patient Travel Scholarship Fund.  They will accept donations for this purpose and will issue grants.  The hope being that this fund will grow beyond this one event and help patients attend other conferences in the future. 

We are looking for sponsors to help defray overall costs as well as providing scholarships to patients for travel and lodging.  This summit will be a moment of true cooperation with venders, organizations, providers and patients all coming together to advocate for positive change.  If you purchase a ticket here it covers attendence at this conference on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday.  

Thank you to all of our other sponsors
