In partnership with TEDx and the Melinda & Bill Gates Foundation, Healthways is pleased to sponsor TEDxChange Nashville, focusing on wellness. This invitation-only event will be on September 22 at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame.

The local TEDxChange event will feature celebrated experts and an exclusive screening of a new Global TEDxChange program—The Future We Make.
