HealthStack Virtual Summit, powered by AFROTECH™, will take place on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026. The event brings together physicians, nurses, and healthcare leaders for candid conversations about the healthcare industry.
What Is HealthStack?
HealthStack is a B2B platform for clinicians, health executives, and innovators committed to advancing equitable health care through credible reporting, industry news, and professional development opportunities — all in one centralized hub.
What To Expect At HealthStack’s Virtual Summit
The summit is designed for early- to mid-career professionals. They’ll be able to learn from industry leaders and gain a clearer sense of the future of health care — and their place within it.
The summit will kick off at 10 a.m. PST with a welcome from Blavity Co-founder and CEO Morgan DeBaun, followed by an “AI for Nurses” workshop led by Anika Gardenhire, AdventHealth’s chief digital and transformation officer.
Programming will continue with a fireside panel titled “Innovation with Purpose: Building Equitable Healthcare.” Dr. Ian Tong, chief clinical officer at Foresite Labs, will moderate the session, which will feature Dr. Alani Gregory of One Medical.
Melynda Barnes, medical director at Ro, and Talkspace’s chief medical officer, Dr. Nikole Benders, will then host a second fireside panel, “Building a Safer Telehealth System: Protecting Patients in a Digital-First World.”
The summit will conclude with an interactive discussion, allowing attendees to share helpful tips and feedback as Blavity continues to build and refine HealthStack.
From exploring new technology to leveraging AI in care delivery, building virtual practices, or leading organizational transformation, the HealthStack Virtual Summit offers practical guidance and real-world insights to help healthcare professionals stay ahead of the curve.
HealthStack’s mission is simple but essential — to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge, tools, and community needed to improve equitable outcomes at scale.
