WellSpent sets agenda for February conference

The first conference to bring together business and healthcare leaders to discuss and develop statewide initiatives has announced its agenda for February.

WellSpent will be a half-day conference on Friday, February 28, 2020 at the Poinsett Club in Greenville.
The event will run from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. There will be opportunities to network and participate in three breakout sessions.

Topics  include:

• Establish private-public sector collaborations around the health of South Carolinians
• How to address the current and future employees needed to support business development in South Carolina
• Developing methods to address lack of adequacy, access, and expertise of the healthcare workforce.

Each session will have a facilitator, reporter and scribe.  Perspectives, points of interest and next step ideas will be collected at each session. The program will wrap with facilitators providing a summary of the three sessions that will lead into achieving a strategic summary, an employer success story along with action steps going forward as a charge for the group.

WellSpent’s goal is to educate, influence and persuade key stakeholders on the importance of healthcare for new or existing economic development efforts in order to improve and increase opportunities for business and the community of South Carolina as a whole.

WellSpent has five main goals: establish the need for private-public sector collaborations around the health of South Carolinians; address the current and future employees needed to support business development in the state; plug the healthcare gap to improve the well-being of the state’s population; build upon how employers and others have been trying to improve the well-being of their employees and family members; and explore partnership opportunities in specific areas of health needs that support both the current and future employees necessary for successful economic development.
