At Idea Hall, we believe the best work starts with people. The communities we serve, the partners we collaborate with, and the stories that bring meaningful connection to life.
Our team had the opportunity to support impactful campaigns, strengthen community conversations, welcome new leadership, and continue building work rooted in purpose and creativity.
As we look back on May, we’re excited to share some of the people, projects, partnerships, and highlights that made this month one worth celebrating.

In the Community: OCBC 2026 Health Care Forum
This month, Idea Hall COO Sara Sloan attended the Orange County Business Council’s 2026 Health Care Forum, “Behind Every Breakthrough: Driving Clinical Innovation and Impact in Orange County,” held at The Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach.
The event brought together leaders from some of Orange County’s largest hospitals, health systems, research institutions, and healthcare organizations to discuss the future of clinical innovation, emerging technologies, healthcare research, and the evolving impact of healthcare across the region.
Conversations throughout the forum explored advancements in treatment and care delivery, the growing role of AI and technology in healthcare, workforce and research collaboration, and Orange County’s continued emergence as a leading healthcare and innovation hub.
At Idea Hall, we value opportunities to engage with industry leaders and community conversations shaping the future of healthcare across Southern California.
