First things first: This year, HIMSS TV will be hosted by Kate Milliken, an entrepreneur and patient advocate with some serious health IT chops of her own.

Kate will be hosting a range of guests from health system executives to startup CEOs, health IT pros at academic medical centers, the people driving hospital innovation – not to mention HIMSS19 Social Media Ambassadors and Champions of Health as well as many Subject Matter Experts.
