HAPI was well represented at the 2026 Virginia Public Health Association Annual Conference in Richmond!

Faculty and students from George Mason University’s Department of Health Administration, Policy, and Informatics shared research addressing health care quality, workforce well-being, social isolation, health disparities, and other issues affecting health and health care.

Among this year’s HAPI presenters were Health Services Research doctoral students Ru Chen, Shaan Muberra Khan, Rathish Moorthy, Ghaida Alsadah, and Arion Lillard-Green, along with HAPI faculty Gilbert Gimm and Debora Goldberg. Their presentations included both poster and breakout sessions throughout the two-day conference.
It was a great opportunity for our HAPI community to share their work, connect with public health professionals from across Virginia, and contribute to conversations about improving health across the Commonwealth.

We are so excited to participate in and host the IHE North America Connectathon Experience Day 2026.

For our Department of Health Administration, Policy, and Informatics interoperability is more than a technical challenge. It is a critical enabler of better care coordination, data-driven decision making, population health improvement, and healthcare innovation. As we prepare the next generation of healthcare leaders, events like this connect our students with the policies, technologies, and industry experts driving transformation across the healthcare ecosystem.

We are thrilled to welcome thought leaders from across the U.S. and Canada to explore what's next in healthcare interoperability.
