The 1st Annual Healthcare Summit: Our Rural & Urban America hosted a panel of 13 leaders in healthcare to get the conversation moving on the issues facing patient access & physician shortage, along with narratives on the opioid crisis, mental health awareness, medical insurance and legislation. We had a dynamic discussion with a Congressman, Senator, the American Medical Association (AMA) National President, Hospital CEOs, and a number of Physician Leaders and Patients. Patients from the local community were able to voice their opinions & concerns directly to our Rock Star panelists along with capturing time to meet, greet and take photos and autographs.
1.) At the Local Level, we are offering free patient care, health webinars and medical bill negotiation.
2.) At the Regional Level, we are building better execution between the private and public sectors, the hospitals and government bodies.
3.) At the National Level, we are pushing for legislation reform (sending our Xmas list to Santa lol).
Innov8 together with our patients and our Rock Star panelists are making noise and working to bring action. Together we will crea8 and Innov8 ! Please reach us for information, questions, collaborations, free patient care and more @ Innov8YourLife@gmail.com or 305-989-0001.

CARTERVILLE — Raj Kumar sees a big problem, and he hopes to help find a solution.
As a physician, he said he’s seen patients struggle to get insurance, to make it to appointments and even to afford being treated in the first place and he can’t stand it.
“It really breaks your heart,” he said.
So he and a dedicated group of physicians, the Innov8 Doctor’s Group, as well as members of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, started working hard last year to find a way to connect the patients with people at the top of the medical food chain, those who can actually make a difference.
Out of this came First Annual Healthcare Summit: Our Rural and Urban America, set for this Saturday. Raj said there will be A-list political and medical leaders, including U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, R-Murphysboro, as well as state Sen. Dale Fowler, R-Harrisburg, and even Dr. David Barbe, who was made national president of the American Medical Association in 2017.
During Saturday’s free noon luncheon at the Carterville Community Center, Raj said attendees can expect to have an honest and open dialogue with these leaders about how the medical system could better serve patients.
“The idea is to fix some of the health care gaps in general,” he said.
While there are some big picture goals on the table for the summit, Raj said he hoped there would be some tangible help given to attendees in need. He said the Innov8 Group helps with free patient care, free webinars and free bill negotiation, and these resources will be available at the event.
Raj said it’s time for physicians and medical leaders to stop “saying its someone else's problem.”
“We can do better,” he said, and he hopes Saturday's event is a start.
