HBHI is proud to share that 23 HBHI Core Faculty have been awarded the opportunity to develop and execute an academic or policy-focused conference at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C.  The Johns Hopkins University Nexus Award Program recently announced 31 convening awards for its third cohort and HBHI faculty are a part of 11 of the convening teams.  

The Nexus Award Program is a One University initiative supporting the growth of Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C. as a hub of robust debate and dialogue.  "We are grateful to sustain this tradition with a third cohort of Nexus Awards recipients, who will continue to mobilize ideas, expertise, and insights to help address society's most challenging concerns," said Ron Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University.

HBHI is grateful for this support to continue to be at the forefront of vital national conversations to extend the reach of expertise and insight for a variety of topics that touch on the business of health.

"It’s exciting to see our core faculty and leadership involved in such a remarkable range of work,” said HBHI director Dan Polsky. "Congratulations to all on this prestigious opportunity for impact.”

Two of the awards will be hosted by HBHI and cover signature HBHI issues: innovation in primary care and Medicare Advantage spending.  

These will be a great follow up from the two convenings hosted this past year: “Primary Care Reform: Aligning Payment, Policy, and Innovation!” and “Cultivating Trust in Health Care”

The other convenings that include HBHI Core Faculty are the following.  Congratulations to each of these teams on their awards.  We can’t wait to be a part of these vital conversations.
