The Financial Policy Council is committed to guiding policy makers toward meaningful change. We believe that bold corporate leaders and visionary entrepreneurs will pioneer a future where healthcare serves the public good— accessible, efficient, and sustainable. It is clear that the current system is no longer viable. Radical, innovative solutions are now imperative. True progress never comes from top-down mandates but from the ingenuity and leadership of those most affected. This summit is where the future begins.
Featuring panelists include Omar Hamada MD, CEO of Tri-Apogee, Gregory Laurence MD, medical director of sYlf Regenerative Therapies, and Martin Johns MD owner of EraDOCate and Eco Knight Group LLC, and Joe DelCastillo MD CEO of Island Flux Brothers.
