Call for submissions: “One Cool Thing”

What’s made life better for your patients, employees or community?

HANYS is inviting up to ten members to share their “One Cool Thing” with statewide hospital and health system colleagues in-person during our June 24-26 Annual Membership Conference in Saratoga Springs.

Submit your nomination here by April 1!

From big ideas and bragworthy wins to small tweaks that improve operations — One Cool Thing is what you can’t wait to tell others about. We encourage presentations focused on innovation in workforce, clinical care, community engagement, use of AI and other ways you’ve improved care delivery or enhanced how your team manages clinical or administrative responsibilities. If you’re excited about it — we want to hear about it.

Our One Cool Thing general session will take place on Friday, June 26, from 7:30-8:30 a.m. Presenters can hold any role in their healthcare organization and are asked to speak for three minutes or less. HANYS will select up to ten individuals to present at our conference; selected presenters will be notified by April 10.

If selected, you’ll receive a one night hotel stay arranged by HANYS, as well as 50% off your registration fee if you plan to attend our full conference.

For questions regarding this session or the selection process, please contact learning@hanys.org.
