Health Innovation Community

GlobalSTL recruits top global healthcare innovation to our region. In addition to running an annual GlobalSTL Health Innovation Summit, GlobalSTL convenes our region’s healthcare organizations to collaborate on innovation sourcing and healthcare transformation as a single community that we call G-CHIL (GlobalSTL Community of Health Innovation Leaders). Our goal is to help each of our members to become better, as a community, at converting outside innovation to value. This community is comprised of 50+ innovation/transformational, operational leaders and researchers across 18 healthcare organizations whose combined revenues are over $360 Billion (~9% of US healthcare spending).

Member Organizations

A Midwest Buying Power Magnet

G-CHIL was started in 2018 after the second annual GlobalSTL Health Innovation Summit. As we were leveraging the massive buying power of St. Louis-based healthcare organizations to attract top international digital health innovation to our region, we decided to open the platform to healthcare orgs in neighboring Midwest regions. G-CHIL now represents healthcare organizations across 5 Midwestern states.

Some of the largest healthcare orgs in the country are members of G-CHIL. Additionally, it is representative of the overall US healthcare delivery ecosystem - with large and small health systems, payers, Medicare Advantage plans, ACOs, state Medicaid plans, PBMs, and clinical research organizations.

Webinar Series: Future of Healthcare, Post-Covid

GlobalSTL is inviting regional and national speakers who were on the frontlines of healthcare during Covid and speakers who are building the post-Covid healthcare system. This webinar series aims to be a discussion with a broad cross-section of leaders from incumbent healthcare players, innovators (business model, tech, financing, policy), government/policy, foundations, etc. The purpose is to move our region forward, through improving the health of our citizens and the public health and healthcare systems that care of our citizens. We hope to aid in achieving this by learning from leaders who are shaping the post-Covid healthcare system (public health, clinical care, SDoH).
