Care costs keep climbing while quality slips. Too many Washingtonians pay more and still struggle to access high-value care they can afford. And that pressure lands on families, employers, and the people who deliver care.
On May 13, Washington Health Alliance and our partners will convene employers, providers, health plans, and community leaders to move from shared challenges to collaborative action.
You’ll hear what’s working, learn practical approaches you can apply, and connect with peers who are ready to drive measurable health care improvement.

Free Webinar
April 2 from 12 to 1 PM
Rising costs, workforce strain, and chronic disease aren’t just operational headaches. They’re an opportunity to make employee health a genuine business priority. Dr. Ray Fabius, co-founder of HealthNext, will show why employers, plans, providers, and brokers need to move beyond claims data to understand what actually shapes employee health, performance, and organizational outcomes. What’s the business case? Where do you start?
Following his presentation, Dr. Fabius joins Dr. Drew Oliveira (Medical Director, Washington Health Alliance) and Dr. Wayne Rawlings (HealthNext NEXTpert) to discuss what’s working across Washington and where gaps remain.
Drawing on findings from WHA’s recently released Community Checkup, which documents significant variation in health care quality across the state, the panel will examine what the data tells us and what it demands of us. This session sets the stage for Dr. Fabius’s May 13 keynote, where he’ll turn insight into action: practical strategies to build healthier, higher-performing teams.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Explain the business case for workforce population health, using WHA’s Community Checkup data on quality variation and chronic condition management across Washington state.
- Identify key drivers of care variation and their effects on employee well-being, productivity, and organizational performance.
- Apply cross-stakeholder strategies, for employers, brokers, providers, and plans, to strengthen workforce health and build higher-performing organizations.
