Prisby to Serve as Chair of 2023 VA Healthcare Summit

2022 has been a productive year across the VA Healthcare System.  The 2022 VA Healthcare Summit, to be held in Washington DC, July 19-20 will feature VA success in Supply Chain and Electronic Health Record modernization.  The Summit will also focus on Veteran Experience initiatives.  In addition, Summit themes will reflect VA Secretary Denis McDonough's recently published, "Fiscal Years 2022-2028 Strategic Plan."  The four key strategies within that plan: "Access. Advocacy. Outcomes. Excellence." will be expressed throughout the annual two-day gathering of VA and industry leadership.

Our Chairman this year is Don Prisby, Founder and President of NorthPoint Advocates, LLC.  This is Don’s seventh engagement with IDGA, having previously attended as a participant, speaker, chair and co-presenter.  He has spoken on topics ranging from “Opioid Abuse and Diversion Mitigation” and “Hospitality and Healthcare” to “The Economic, Moral and Anthropological Motivations for Service Excellence.”  Don has sourced and referred clinical and executive speakers for other VA conferences sponsored by IDGA and has previously served as a Chair of the Process Excellence Conference in Washington, DC.  Don holds a BA in Philosophy from the University of San Diego and a graduate degree from the Pontifical Jesuit Gregorian University in Rome, Italy.
