Introducing Oasis Connections: A Better Way to Connect and Work Together

Aug 30, 2024

Rethinking Healthcare Leadership Starts with Better Conversations

 

In healthcare—as in business—better outcomes begin with better dialogue. At Abarca Health, we’re more than a pharmacy benefit manager. We’re a company that dares to find a better way. That’s what led us to launch Oasis Connections—a platform for authentic, purpose-driven leadership conversations that spark real change.

After all, innovation doesn’t happen in silos—and healthcare transformation can’t happen in a vacuum.

Why We Created the Oasis Connections Leadership Platform

Beyond Office Space: Building a Culture of  Innovation

When we opened Oasis Santurce—our innovation hub in Puerto Rico—it wasn’t just about beautiful architecture. More importantly, it was about creating space for new ideas, bold leadership, and collaboration across sectors.

As we listened and learned, we quickly realized that to build something meaningful, we needed more than a space—we needed to foster intentional conversations with people who think differently.

That’s where Oasis Connections comes in.

What is Oasis Connections?

More Than a Leadership Series—it’s a Movement

Oasis Connections is a curated series of candid leadership sessions hosted at Abarca’s headquarters. Unlike traditional similar events, these are not keynote speeches or formal panels—they’re intimate, off-the-record conversations with changemakers in:

  • Healthcare
  • Technology
  • Architecture
  • Finance
  • Social entrepreneurship

Moderated by Jason Borschow, CEO of Abarca, the events are followed by networking opportunities designed to transform inspiration into collaboration.

In other words, it’s not a conference. It’s not a panel. It’s a dialogue—grounded in trust, driven by purpose.

Who is Oasis Connections For?

Designed for the Leaders of Today—and Tomorrow

Abarca Health created Oasis Connections for three key groups.

  • Our People – to grow bold, creative, and thoughtful leaders across every level of Abarca.
  • Our Partners – including healthcare innovators, tech startups, social impact founders, and corporate leaders who share our belief in doing things differently.
  • Our Ecosystem – to foster cross-sector collaboration that strengthens Puerto Rico’s role in global innovation

Ultimately, this platform is part of a broader commitment to developing leadership that’s fearless, informed, and human-centered.

What’s Next for Oasis Connections?

A Growing Community with Global Impact

We’re just getting started. In the coming months, Oasis Connections is set to evolve—with new topics, diverse voices, and richer perspectives.

Our goal? To be the epicenter of thought leadership for people reimagining healthcare, business, and social impact.

We believe this platform will help drive:

  • Smarter collaboration
  • Bold leadership
  • Stronger outcomes for companies and communities

Because when we create space for real conversations, we open the door to real transformation.
