Future of Health Summit 2021

Convening the world’s leading minds to confront and work towards solving the most significant health challenges.

About the 2021 Future of Health Summit (FHS)

COVID-19 threatened our health and well-being, exposed weaknesses across health systems, and exacerbated healthcare disparities. Despite these challenges, we saw extraordinary coordination to defeat the coronavirus and advance global health.

To save both lives and livelihoods, competitors became collaborators, pooling scientific research to fight COVID-19 while improving pandemic preparedness, disease prevention, diversity in clinical trials, mental health services, food access, and more.

Given these silver linings, the Milken Institute—and its catalytic community—turned lessons learned from 2020 into a healthier, more resilient, and more equitable future for all.
