The Northern Rockies Health Care Innovation Summit (NRHCIS) will be held June 9-10, 2014 at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort in Anaconda, Montana. The event was created by the Frontier Medicine Better Health Partnership (FMBHP), one of the state?s leaders in healthcare innovation. The FMBHP was one of two Innovations Grant recipients in the state. The Innovations Grants, funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, serve to begin transforming the healthcare system through innovation.

Once again this year the Summit will include an impressive line-up of speakers. There will be thought provoking keynote addresses with break-out sessions and workshops. The Summit will highlight healthcare innovation efforts that are happening in Montana, especially in the areas of rural and frontier medicine. Following on the success of last year?s Summit, it is anticipated that this will be a sold out event.
