Why virtual-first is gaining traction in cardiovascular care


Friday, September 19th, 2025 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM CT

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., but early detection and timely intervention remain out of reach for many — especially in rural and underserved communities.

Some health systems are rethinking how care is delivered.

Join this session to learn how virtual-first cardiovascular models are improving access, enhancing detection and driving measurable improvements in outcomes. You'll hear from Jeff Wessler, MD — a Northwell Health cardiologist and founder and CEO of Heartbeat Health — and other leaders on how to build scalable virtual pathways that blend diagnostics, AI and clinician collaboration into a more connected model of care.

Key takeaways:
 
  • How to engage hard-to-reach populations with virtual-first care models
  • Where AI-powered diagnostics fit in clinical care pathways and population health workflows
  • What real-world programs are doing to improve HEDIS scores and CMS star ratings while reducing cost
