Events for Health Partners

Olin Business School hosts a dynamic lineup of conferences and seminars that power our Business of Health initiative. Each spring and fall, we bring together experts from across WashU and leaders in industry, investment, and policy to address the most pressing issues and emerging innovations in health and healthcare. Our monthly seminar series adds an inside look at real-world challenges and solutions, featuring case studies from seasoned practitioners, lively discussion, and valuable networking. Together, these events strengthen cross-disciplinary collaboration and accelerate progress across St. Louis’ health community.

Health Decoded

This engaging monthly seminar series gathers leaders in health and business to pull back the curtain on real challenges, real solutions, and the lessons that matter most. Each session includes real-world case studies presented by an industry expert. Managing Director of the Business of Health Initiative, Patrick Aguilar, leads a discussion of a case with opportunities for audience Q&A, plus time for networking. Past speakers have included Vamil Divan (9/18), John Kuelper, (10/9) and Kristi Hampton, (11/20).
