FAQs

What started as The RISE Summit on SDoH has evolved into a broader, more inclusive movement—RISE Healthy Communities Summit. Since this event's inception, RISE has united health care, government, and community-based organizations to tackle the social drivers of health and build lasting change.

Each year, this summit features changemakers who are advancing SDoH, health equity, and member experience across sectors. You’ll hear real-world success stories from health plans, providers, CBOs, advocacy groups, government leaders, and funders—sharing what works, what doesn’t, and how to overcome common barriers. From Stars and CAHPS to population health, behavioral science, and risk adjustment, speakers bring lived experience, policy insights, and tactical strategies you can act on.

Giving back is a core part of the RISE experience. At many of our events, we partner with national and local organizations to create hands-on opportunities that allow attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff to support the communities that host us. Our initiatives have included packing meals with U.S. Hunger, serving meals at local soup kitchens, painting community murals with the Foundation for Hospital Art, and assembling care kits for Children’s Advocacy Centers. 

When applicable, we donate surplus food and beverages from our events to local organizations to reduce waste and extend our impact.

Give-back initiatives vary by event and location, but our commitment to making a positive, local impact remains the same.
