Inaugural Event
A Health Moonshot Forum for the 99%
Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 1-7 p.m. ET
The inaugural Civic Health Forum brings together investors, AI leaders, healthcare providers, payors, policymakers, and founders for a half-day convening at Civic Hall in New York City, organized around one question:
How do we keep people healthy before they enter the healthcare system?
The program combines strategic conversations with curated innovation spotlights and structured networking designed to move beyond dialogue toward partnerships, investment, and real-world deployment. Co-hosted by Fedcap, Digital Health Hub Foundation, and StartUp Health.

The Problem
A healthy society strives to deliver less healthcare, not more. In the U.S. and other advanced economies, we invest billions of dollars each year to optimize care for people who are already sick, when the harder and more important work is preventing illness in the first place. The capital, technology, and talent that could transform prevention are arriving at a moment when they have never been more needed, and yet they are flowing disproportionately into the parts of the health system that serve people once they have already become patients. The upstream work of keeping people healthy in the first place is chronically underinvested and underbuilt.
Our Solution
Headquartered at Civic Hall in New York City, Civic Health is an international platform that brings together AI, technology, capital, and health leaders to advance the prevention of illness and the promotion of health at scale. Our focus is on the largest undercapitalized markets in health: the conditions, communities, and populations that current investment systematically overlooks, what we sometimes call “the other 99 percent.” We convene mission-aligned people and organizations, develop the strategies and plans that make new prevention ventures fundable, and help build the operational infrastructure for promising ideas to become operating organizations.
