HERO Think Tank Convening and collaborating for a healthy today, and tomorrow

 
Our first HERO Think Tank meeting of 2013 took place in February in Atlanta, Ga. Thank you to everyone who attended for contributing your time and insights to this compelling dialogue. The discussion was lively, covering the following topics: behavior modification strategies, building a healthy and high-performing workforce, the legal and political landscape surrounding health care today, building culture through organizational change, and current employee health management research.

In this special edition of HERO on Health, we've captured the highlights from the Think Tank meeting, along with commentary about relevant HERO programs and initiatives.

The HERO committees that are leading these initiatives are all made up of volunteers. And, while it takes a significant investment of time and energy to move the industry forward, HERO committee members and Think Tank members share an extreme level of passion and commitment to our organization and to health management as a scientific discipline. HERO brings this passion, talent and knowledge together to learn, discuss and provide health management research and guidance that benefits businesses.

The next HERO Think Tank will take place on September 23 in Orlando, Fla., prior to the start of the 2013 HERO Forum.
