A Conversation with Simone Biles

Widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, Simone Biles’ accomplishments go well beyond being the most decorated gymnast globally.  Known for her leadership on and off the floor, Simone is an advocate for mental health awareness, knowing all too well how everyday stressors can exert physical as well as emotional injury.  Simone herself demonstrated the courage to “pause” from the demands of the 2020 Olympic Games, remove herself from competition, and focus on her own mental health and self-care. Her courage to place her health and well-being over her aspirations and ambitions resonates with so many in the health information and technology environment as well.  In this HIMSS25 closing keynote conversation, prepare to be inspired by Simone’s global impact on how faith, family, passion, and perseverance has provided the tenacity to overcome everyday challenges.
