From Discover to Deploy.
Across three days, the convening moves deliberately from shared stories and proof points, to opportunities with momentum, to cross-sector design work, and finally to named commitments. The agenda below follows that progression and makes the participant journey feel more visible from the start.
Surface what is already working
Stories, breakthroughs, and early proof points create the shared starting point for the room.
Identify what is ready to move
The room names where energy, evidence, and readiness are beginning to converge.
Turn insight into a working plan
Cross-sector groups choose initiatives, define roles, and draft momentum statements.
Name commitments, partners, and timelines
The convening closes by turning the room into a launched network with concrete next steps.
Day One
Monday, June 22
Day 1 is an evening session designed to build connection and establish common ground. You will arrive at an informal gathering, meet fellow participants from across sectors, and hear opening stories about moments when integration changed something real — for a patient, a community, or a practice. You will leave with a reflection prompt to carry into Day 2.
Arrival & Informal Gathering
An opportunity to connect with fellow participants over food and conversation before the formal program begins.
Registration & Check-In
Collect your materials and get oriented to the space, the Living Wall, and the three-day arc ahead.
Welcome Reception
Facilitated introductions designed to connect you with participants whose work intersects with yours — across sectors and disciplines you may not typically encounter.
Opening Welcome & Framing
Convening leadership and facilitators introduce the central question, the four-phase journey, and the foundational values that will guide the work — including equity as a core commitment, not a program area.
Opening Stories & First Marks on the Living Wall
Short, powerful stories from leaders across multiple sectors about a moment when integration changed an outcome. Not lectures — doorways into the work ahead. Followed by a brief paired conversation and the first contributions to the Living Wall.
Evening Reflection & Close
You will receive a reflection card with one prompt: Tell me about a time when integration worked in your sector. Bring that story tomorrow.
Adjourn Day 1
A first connection with participants across sectors. A shared emotional starting point. A story you are ready to share on Day 2.
Day Two
Tuesday, June 23
Day 2 is the most dynamic day of the convening. You will move through three phases in a single day: completing the work begun on Day 1, identifying the opportunities with the greatest momentum, and entering the design work where you will collaborate in cross-sector teams to develop concrete plans. You will end the day with a specific initiative to champion and a draft statement of action.
Breakfast
Informal time to continue conversations from the evening before.
Story Circle: Honoring What Already Works
Day 2 opens with you — not a speaker. In pairs, you will share the integration story from your reflection card. Selected stories are shared with the full room and added to the Living Wall. The facilitator will synthesize the themes: a different system is already taking shape, in pockets, across this room.
Panel: Opportunities for Momentum
Leaders from multiple sectors share what is working in their field — not a catalogue of barriers, but a focus on where energy and evidence are converging. Each panelist names the specific lever their sector has the most power to pull in the near term. A live poll surfaces where the room sees the greatest readiness for action.
Break
Cross-Sector Small Groups: Taking the Pulse
You will work in pre-assigned groups that mix sectors and disciplines. Three structured rounds: 1) share what has worked and why; 2) map the structural landscape — what barriers exist and what could navigate them; and 3) identify who in the room has leverage and what initiative your group wants to champion.
Full Room Report-Out & Synthesis
Each group’s spokesperson shares one strength, one challenge, and one initiative. The facilitator names patterns across groups and bridges to the afternoon: we have seen what works in pockets — now we design what it looks like at scale.
Lunch
Panel: Real-World Prototypes of Integrated Care
Three to four presenters share living models of whole-person care — what inspired the work, what they built, what the evidence shows, and specifically what they need from this room to take it further. Between each presentation, you will have a brief pair reaction. A live poll identifies which models have the most relevance across sectors.
Cross-Sector Small Groups: From Insight to Action
Your group reconvenes to do the core design work: select an initiative to champion, map each sector’s specific contribution, and draft a momentum statement — a concrete declaration of what your group is ready to do, with whom, and by when. You will also name what you need from other sectors to succeed.
Closing Plenary: Building Collective Momentum
Momentum statements from all groups are shared with the full room. The facilitator names the emerging conditions for collective impact taking shape. Bridge to Day 3: tonight, let these statements breathe. Tomorrow, we make them commitments.
Day 2 Close
You leave with a draft momentum statement and a clear sense of what tomorrow will ask of you.
Adjourn Day 2
A specific initiative to champion. A draft momentum statement written with cross-sector partners. Cross-sector relationships that are now operational, not just introductory.
Day Three
Wednesday, June 24
Everything from Day 1 and Day 2 has been building to this morning. Day 3 is about commitment. You will be asked to name a concrete action, a partner, and a timeline. You will hear leaders model what a real commitment looks and sounds like. And you will leave as part of a named, launched network with the infrastructure to keep the work moving.
Breakfast
Opening: Reading the Living Wall
The facilitator traces the arc of the Living Wall — drawing connections between the first words of Day 1 and the momentum statements of Day 2. Words became stories. Stories became plans. Now we see what is possible.
From Plans to Commitment: Modeling the Ask
A small number of senior leaders respond after having reviewed the previous day’s momentum statements overnight — not with prepared remarks, but with a specific commitment: named action, named partner, named timeframe. They are the first to commit, modeling what the room will be asked to do next.
Cross-Sector Small Groups: Commitment Cards & Collective Action
The most consequential session of the convening. Your group reconvenes for four steps: 1) assess whether your championed initiative is ready for collective action now, in six months, or not yet; 2) complete your individual Commitment Card; 3) review whether your group’s commitments reinforce one another; and 4) identify who else in the room could strengthen your work.
Active Networking Break
An opportunity to make the connections your group identified.
Fireside Chat: Policy Levers for Health System Transformation
A focused conversation on the policy levers closest to being pulled — shaped by two days of work in this room. This is not a policy briefing. It is a forward-looking dialogue about what this network, with these commitments, could now make possible at the systems level.
Closing: The Network Has Begun
The Living Wall’s full arc is read aloud — from the opening words of Day 1 to the commitments of Day 3. The network is named. Commitment Cards are collected. You leave with three things: a commitment, a partner, and a network.
Boxed Lunch & Departure
Adjournment
A signed Commitment Card with a named action, partner, and timeline. Membership in a cross-sector network with the infrastructure to sustain the work. A clear line of sight from your personal commitment to systemic change.
What begins in the room is designed to keep moving after the convening.
This convening is designed to launch the beginning of a multi-sector effort to advance whole-person health. Following the convening, participants will have opportunities to stay connected and engaged through regular check-ins, progress updates, and collaborative working sessions. The intent is straightforward: ensure that what begins in this room continues to grow, and that every commitment has the support it needs to become action. More detail on the post-convening structure will be shared during the event itself. For now, know this: your participation helps shape the network’s pathway to whole-person health.
