About

Elevate your status as a leader in employee benefits and cost savings when you are recognized with the World Congress Health Value Awards! World Congress, in partnership with The Health Rosetta Institute and The Care Innovations Validation Institute, created the Health Value Awards to showcase health care organizations and programs that demonstrate measurably better and more transparent health outcomes, costs and safety than conventional care. The Award Ceremony will take place in front of 1,200 health care professionals and over 50 media groups at WHCC. Don’t miss this opportunity to be recognized and awarded for your organization’s outstanding work in front of your peers.

This award recognizes health care vendors, brokers, and purchasers who consistently deliver higher value that stands in contrast to the industry’s unaffordable services and unwarranted variations in outcomes and cost. By adhering to principles of evidence, transparency, competition and efficiency, we seek to identify high value health care organizations as examples that can be emulated throughout the continuum of clinical and financial risk management.
