At Abarca Health, we believe that healthcare transformation doesn’t begin with technology or policy—it begins with people coming together.
Not just doctors and patients, or insurers and providers. We mean entrepreneurs, technologists, designers, policymakers, and more. That’s why we created Oasis Connections—a leadership platform for cross-sector collaboration and purpose-driven dialogue.
Anchored in Oasis Santurce, our innovation campus in the heart of Puerto Rico, Oasis Connections is more than a series of talks. It’s a gathering place for changemakers to challenge assumptions, break down silos, and build relationships that shape the future of healthcare—and beyond.
Why Community Healthcare Connection Drives Better Conversations and Innovation
Healthcare is evolving rapidly—driven by digital transformation, regulatory shifts, and rising expectations from consumers. But innovation doesn’t happen in isolation.
Real progress happens when people share knowledge, compare experiences, and come together to create better systems of care.
Breaking Down Healthcare Silos Through Cross-Industry Collaboration
Too often, the industry is fractured:
- Payers talk to payers
- Providers to providers
- Tech leaders stay in their own lanes
Through Oasis Connections, we’re bridging these gaps by inviting voices from finance, design, education, social impact, and tech to explore how leadership, culture, and innovation intersect in healthcare.
Guests from organizations like Popular Bank, Red Ventures, Ironhack, and Endeavor Puerto Rico have joined the conversation—alongside emerging founders tackling big problems with scalable ideas.
What’s Next: Strengthening the Community Healthcare Connection Through Collaboration
After hosting two seasons of Oasis Connections, a few clear themes have emerged—each with major implications for the healthcare sector.
1. Digital Health and AI: Foundational to Community Healthcare Innovation
From AI in clinical workflows to smarter digital front doors, tech is no longer optional—it’s core infrastructure. Learning from tech-native companies helps healthcare leaders build smarter systems.
2. Leadership and Culture: Key Drivers of Community Healthcare Success
Organizations that prioritize trust, transparency, and agility outperform. Culture isn’t a buzzword—it’s a driver of success in care delivery, patient engagement, and team performance.
3. Community Healthcare Innovation Thrives on Diverse Perspectives
Some of the most transformative ideas in healthcare have come from outside it. That’s why we bring together designers, educators, civic leaders, and financial innovators—because fresh ideas come from new angles.
The Value of Cross-Industry Collaboration and Relationships in Healthcare
At Abarca, we’re reimagining PBM to be more seamless, personal, and tech-enabled. But that vision can’t happen unless we invest in real human connection.
The ROI of relationship-building across industries is clear:
- Faster, more agile innovation
- Stronger partnerships and ecosystem alignment
- Better outcomes for patients, communities, and companies
Oasis Connections is our way of creating that relational infrastructure—nurturing networks that support shared progress.
What’s Next: From Connection to Cross-Sector Collaboration in Healthcare
As we expand Oasis Connections and build new initiatives like Oasis Mixers, our commitment stays the same:
To create spaces where leaders don’t just meet—they connect with intention, build trust, and explore what’s possible when we lead together.
When we bring the right people into the room and give them a reason to stay, healthcare gets better—for everyone.
