(Aug. 21, 2024) – We hope you can join us for the KHA Annual Convention and Trade Show on Sept. 5-6 at the Sheraton Overland Park and Overland Park Convention Center. Trustees were mailed convention brochures in July. The trustee registration fee is only $25. This reduced rate is KHA's way of recognizing trustees' vital role in the hospital industry and thanking them for joining us at this important annual event.
Trustees will want to attend our Trustee Breakfast and Educational Session from 7:15 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 6. Catherine Walberg and Tom Bell, Goodell, Stratton, Edmonds, and Palmer, LLP, will present the session Legal Issues Important to Hospital Boards. We encourage trustees and CEOs to join us.
In addition to this session, we have organized a convention to provide attendees with excellent education and several networking opportunities. The convention starts with the KHA political advocacy and grassroots breakfast, where attendees will hear from Charlie Cook, The Current Political and Legislative Environment. Our keynote speaker, Justin Wren, will share how he has fought large and small opponents, which has helped him be a force for good in the world. Attendees won't want to miss David Agus, MD, who will highlight Future Health – A Vision for Personal and Corporate Health in the Next Decade. Erin Stafford, will explore how to escape burnout and maintain peak performance sustainably. Marcus Engel, The Other End of the Stethoscope, will remind health care professionals of their vital role in patients' healing process. Dan Meers, "KC Wolf" will close our convention with his incredible story and the lessons he learned about leadership and life during a long recovery journey.
We hope hospital trustees can join other health care leaders at the KHA Convention and Trade Show in September.
