What healthcare innovations will make a difference? Find out at CONVERGE

We’re less than a month away from a rare gathering that will see personalized medicine researchers and executives from the medical device industry’s biggest companies standing shoulder to shoulder discussing the future of medicine with digital health entrepreneurs and health IT advocates within Health and Human Services.
