* Forum Sponsorships:  Provide an employer client (health benefits professional) to participate on a speakers’ panel. This employer will share a brief, non-branded case study presentation to include the business case for a solution offering, program strategy, outcomes and key-takeaways. MBGH requires the forum sponsor to confirm their employer client at least 6 weeks prior to the scheduled event (Annual Conference timeline is 13 weeks prior). Preference is an in-person speaker. If not available, a request can be made to provide a virtual presenter (MBGH approval will be required). The employer speaker does not need to be a MBGH member nor located in the Midwest.

Attendees will learn about progressive mental/behavioral health treatments for their workforce and dependents; understand the pivotal role employers play in providing support and treatment to today’s workforce; examine the impact untreated mental health disorders have on their workforce and organizations; and learn how their organizations can create access to progressive treatments for mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD.

March 20, 2024 – It’s a Juggling Act: Supporting Women’s Health Through the Lifecycle

Despite the fact that women make up a large percentage of the workforce, women’s unique health needs have often been ignored. Employers need to understand how to provide programs and benefits to support these needs. Attendees will understand how pending legislation to include women in clinical trials will affect women’s health and impact how their benefit plan provides health coverage to women; learn about the unique health needs of women in the workforce and understand how their health plan can support them; and hear what women of different generations want their employers to understand about being a working woman. This is MBGH's first event on women's health and we expect over 80 attendees in-person at this half-day event.
