Praise for the Aspen Health Forum 2007:

"As a young researcher, I found the Aspen Health Forum to be not just well planned and interesting but highly inspiring."

- Ambika Bumb

"The Aspen Health Forum deepened my commitment to improving human health."

- Bill Martin

"The 2007 Aspen Health Forum was an unbelievable opportunity to interact with an amazing mix of thought leaders in the health care sphere: academics, business leaders, and government officials in a warm, constructive, open environment."

- David Rosenthal

"The Aspen Health Forum I attended in fall 2007 was one of the best conferences I ever attended! The mixture of highly distinguished scientists, politicians, health professionals, and practitioners was unbeatable. Not only were the presentations excellent ― engaging, well planned, and touching the very latest news and advances in health and medical research ― the question periods that followed, interactions with other attendees, and atmosphere throughout the forum were phenomenal. My only regret was that I didn't have a clone to send to the other parallel-session talks I also wanted to attend."

- Tamar Schlick

"The Aspen Health Forum provided a rich and varied program that helped me to better understand the complex problems--technological, economic, and policy-related--facing our nation as we attempt to move into a new century of healthcare delivery."

- David Salvay

"The Aspen Health Forum was an opportunity to step out of clinical medicine and interact with an amazing cadre of health policy experts, technology gurus, and the leaders of the health and wellness world."

- Charles Pearce

"(The forum) is a place where the thought leaders of the health field describe complex health concerns in everyday language. Thoroughly enjoyable."

- Emmitt Jolly
