Health, Wellness, and Human Services Intelligence, Complex Illness & Organizational Outcomes

194 million adults and 22 million children in the U.S. are fighting complex illness — and most healthcare, wellness, and human services organizations are losing ground trying to help them. The old playbook isn't working. What if the strategies that win wars could transform the way we deliver care?

In this dynamic, framework-driven keynote, retired Army intelligence officer and author Tenay Benes translates battlefield-tested strategies into actionable tools for the front lines of healthcare. Drawing on her book "Heal or Die" and a seven-domain whole-person health framework, Tenay offers the lessons that connected her with the right care professionals to receive the right treatment at the right time.

Attendee Results:

• Understand why complex illness overwhelms traditional care models — and what to do differently.
