  2026 MHSCN Fall Conference

  Forecasting the Future: Navigating Healthcare
  Communications in a Changing Climate

  Monday, November 9, 2026 | 9 a.m.–4 p.m.

  Join the Minnesota Health Strategy and Communications Network (MHSCN) for a full day of learning, conversation and connection focused on the future of healthcare communications.

  The healthcare climate is changing fast. New technologies, shifting consumer expectations, evolving communication channels and continued changes across the healthcare industry are reshaping how we reach and engage the people and communities we serve.

  Forecasting the Future will bring healthcare marketing, communications and strategy professionals together to explore the forces shaping our field and, more importantly, what we can do about them.

  Throughout the day, you'll gain practical strategies you can bring back to your organization and connect with colleagues facing many of the same challenges and opportunities. You'll also hear fresh perspectives from speakers like Belinda Jensen and Chris Boyer.

  

  Belinda Jensen is a Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Famer who recently retired as Chief Meteorologist at KARE 11 News after 35 years of forecasting, a passion she has had since elementary school. She now co-hosts Weathering Life with Bel and Lee, a weekly podcast with fellow Hall of Famer Lee Valsvik, which helps people navigate life's stormiest transitions. With wit, wisdom, and no script, Belinda joins us as this year’s conference keynote, talking career pivots, reinvention, unexpected detours, and the sunny stretches in between.

  

  Chris Boyer is a digital strategist and consultant who helps health systems, health services organizations and digital health companies improve the patient experience. Through his consultancy, Chris Boyer LLC, he advises leaders on digital transformation, marketing technology and enterprise governance. He is a nationally recognized speaker and author, and co-host of the Touch Point podcast, a weekly show on digital experience, transformation and innovation in healthcare that has run for nine years and 500 episodes.
