About RISE

Networking, Education, Industry Intelligence and Career Development

RISE is the premier community for healthcare professionals who aspire to meet the extraordinary challenges posed by the emerging landscape of accountable care and government healthcare reform. Recognized industry-wide as the number one source for information on risk adjustment and quality improvement within healthcare, RISE strives to serve the community on four fronts: networking, education, industry intelligence and career development.

Through cutting-edge conferences, online courses, in-house training, and webinars, RISE provides professionals with industry insights and critical information they need to stay ahead of the curve.

RISE produces more than 30 conferences annually, focused on sophisticated topics and ample networking opportunities for thousands of executives from mid- to senior-level and C-suite. Our team of subject matter experts is often first to market with emerging topics and we pride ourselves on consistently delivering on top-quality operations and logistics to produce a seamless event.

Established in 2006 as an extension of Healthcare Education Associates (HEA), RISE now operates as the sole healthcare arm offering the original capabilities of HEA as well as an expanded product line. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, RISE operates alongside its counterpart, Foundation Research Associates (FRA), which serves the finance, law enforcement, government, legal and compliance communities in a similar capacity. The brand is part of Wilmington FRA, Inc.
