In addition to the health system’s commitment to transformation, it has worked hard to spread ripples of change through the creation of ARC. We are like-minded agents of change and believers in radical collaboration. We’re excited to continue to build a movement around innovation in healthcare and acknowledge that stronger together is a global truth.”
