IHPME’s premier alumni and partner event, Moonshot is an annual opportunity for our diverse community to come together to celebrate accomplishments, engage in meaningful networking, and explore innovative approaches to the most pressing healthcare challenges.

Karli Farrow, President and CEO of Trillium Health Partners (THP), delivered this year’s keynote address, shedding light on how hospitals can lead community-care and how health partners can adapt to meet future demands. Farrow’s talk featured insights from the Trillium Health Works project, and invited attendees to consider how partnerships, innovative care delivery, and community engagement can help provide more equitable care.
