Thank you for joining us in 2026!
This year’s Better Together Summit took a practical look at the changes already transforming how we work, deliver services, and build healthier communities.
We started with practical uses for AI in nonprofits—moving beyond the buzz to explore real tools and applications that can help organizations work smarter, communicate more effectively, and make the most of limited time and resources.
From there, we looked at innovation in healthcare, including how new technology is improving the patient experience and what greater connectivity across healthcare systems means for our community.
And because a healthy community is about much more than healthcare, we’ll broaden the conversation to explore how infrastructure, planning, and the places we live, work, and play influence health and quality of life.
We closed with Building Connected Communities, a series of short local spotlights showcasing exciting work happening right here in Lebanon County—from trails and parks to downtown revitalization and long-range community planning.
