The premier event of the "Advancement League", a membership organization with a goal to put "Health, Everywhere" created by 3 Administrative Fellows while at Geisinger Health in 2018. 

This is the 5th edition of the Young Health Leader Summit, with previous versions attracting 100's of what's now known as "the kindest collection of healthcare talent" including leading CEO's, Forbes lister entrepreneurs, and a diverse mix of all parts of the health ecosystem. 

The first event introduced a 1st-of-its-kind 24-hour Community Impact Competition, where attendees were literally put into groups and given cash to go out into the local community and spend the money within 24 hours to "do the most good". That impact, and the friendships and job opportunities it has created every year, has been the highlight, now at over $100,000 invested into healthy food, affordable housing, and happiness. 

NO! Dr. Feinberg of Oracle has said it should be the "middle-aged summit" since we started while working with him at Geisinger and it's now been nearly 10 years! It's for the "young and young at heart" and we are serious about continuing to attract leaders who are serious about a healthier future, no matter their position or age. There are so many ways that each of us can contribute to the conversations and actions that will result in a healthier world, that our tagline has always been "the Future of Health is Together" and we mean it!

Here are 10 reasons 👇 

1. Because the last 4 were amazing. 

2. There are literally people who've met their best friends at previous versions. 

3. 100% of YHLS 2022 attendees who responded to the post-event survey said "yes" they'd return to SAS campus and Raleigh, NC, with a Net Promoter Score of - you guessed it - 100! 

4. It's been called "the kindest collection of healthcare talent" for good reason. 

5. Every attendee takes your career happiness and community impact seriously, we even have a "buddy" system during the event to make sure you have as much fun and career connections as possible. 

6. Raleigh and Durham need us! One full day is dedicated to giving back locally, last year over $15,000 went to supporting the Women's Shelter, Black Farmer's Market and the North Caroline Food Bank. 

7. For 2nd year MHA/MPH/MBA students, it's before Fellowship and job applications are due, and we'll have many of the top organizations there to provide the resources, guidance, and personal networks to land you the job of your dreams. 

8. You get to wear shorts, or jeans, or whatever else you want. 

9. There's no awkward name badge stares, because your name badge only has your 1st name or whatever you want people to remember about you. 

10. You seriously got all the way to #10 after this first 9 incredible reasons?

Raleigh, North Carolina. 

Or to be exact exact, Cary North Carolina on the world-renowned private SAS Institute campus in "Building C" where Ironman 3 was partially filmed (if it's good enough for Tony Stark it's got to be good enough for you)! 

People came together and laughed, cried (mostly Alex, every year the community impact gets him), and made a major difference locally and in the spirit they took back home committed to their careers and communities in new ways.
