Dave Chase, Creator, Co-Founder & CEO Health Rosetta
Chase leads the vision for Health Rosetta. Health Health Rosetta’s blueprint powers the health plans of your dreams: high quality, trustworthy, local, affordable care -- that you thought had disappeared forever -- from caregivers we know & trust. We free up compassionate, well-trained, community-based caregivers to rediscover love in medicine so they can do what they have always been called to do:
serve their patients not just in disease, but toward their fullest health. A trusted & sacred caregiver-patient bond is built through transparency & openness that equips and empowers patients wherever they can best achieve their unique health goals -- at home or any setting best optimizing their well-being. By avoiding the 50% wasted healthcare spending, we can ensure our caregivers have the independence & resources to address the psychosocial and medical issues their patients face. Human-centered health plans restore health, hope & well-being.
Through best-selling books & The Resident, where Chase serves as a consultant, collateral damage from the Extractive Era of healthcare is highlighted as well as the tremendous successes & opportunities with Health Rosetta-type health plans. The books, writing for various media outlets, TED talk and TV/film have reached over 10 million people with the goal of informing, enraging, empowering and activating a broad grassroots movement designed to restore hope, health & well-being to our communities.
Chase co-founded Avado which was acquired by & integrated into WebMD/Medscape and founded Microsoft's $2B, 28,000 partner healthcare ecosystem.
Outside of work, Chase is an oxygen-fueled mountain athlete.

Simple is best. Yet there is something inherent in human nature drives us to make things more complicated than they need to be. Psychologists even have a term for it: complexity bias.
People tend to believe that the more complex solution to a problem is always the better one!
So we make things much more difficult than they need to be. We’re all guilty of this to one degree or another.
Let’s talk about how to get to the real purpose of benefits, how they support the business, and how communications reveal their value. Simply!
This year we are once again pleased to announce a partnership with Employee Benefits Planning Association (EBPA). They will hold their regular breakfast program in the morning. For those who choose to attend both events, we are offering a discount.
