The U.S. spends $2.7 trillion each year on health care—yet we are raising a generation of children who may live shorter and sicker lives than their parents.
At SOCAP Health, we are unveiling a new market; one that values health. It’s lower cost, it includes everybody and it is investable at attractive returns. It’s a unique opportunity for those investors who can see a new, holistic opportunity where others only see an old system in decay.
We are not doing it alone; we are leveraging the expertise of leaders in finance, health systems, community development, policy and impact investing. Using a holistic approach that links housing, jobs, schools, exercise, and transportation, coupled with the latest mobile technology, devices and big data, we are outlining a fresh approach that will unveil investable opportunities for impact investors.
SOCAP Health has a two-day agenda featuring leaders in finance, policy, health systems, community development, philanthropy and impact investing as well as cutting edge entrepreneurs who are making it happen. Join SOCAP, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, The New York Academy of Medicine and the Build Healthy Places Network for the largest-ever convening exploring the untapped market for improving health:
Learn how health systems, social systems and innovative solutions are improving health in low-income communities
Meet entrepreneurs and policymakers working at the intersection of finance and health
Hear from organizations whose investments are generating economic gains and improvements in health and well-being
Join us as we work together to create a new market that values health—beyond health care—on June 25+26 in New York.

http://www.socialcapitalmarkets.net Kevin Jones creates information businesses inside emerging markets. He believes that markets emerge in conversation, as people try to explain and understand value. But this market is not like others he’s been in, and that’s what makes it more interesting and more important. The social capital market adds the dimension of impact, what your money actually does in the world before it comes back to you as a gain or loss, to the traditional risk and reward investment equation. Looking at impact is what has enabled SOCAP to be at the vital intersection of money and meaning, Kevin said.
Besides SOCAP, Kevin is founder of Good Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in social enterprises. He is also part of the team launching the first U.S. node of the Hub, a network of more than a dozen work spaces for social entrepreneurs in cities across the world from Cairo to London.
His previous six businesses all achieved market dominance before he left or sold them. As a journalist, he has been a columnist for Forbes and Business 2.0 magazines. Early in his career as a journalist his reporting sent a sheriff to prison on 53 counts of fraud. He has been on the boards of Social Enterprise Alliance, the association of non profit social enterprises, and Social Venture Partners International, a network of engaged philanthropy circles. Kevin also led a malaria project in Zwaziland and Mozambique, working with Jeff Sachs of The Earth Institute at Columbia University. Finally, during his 20 year business career in Mississippi he was heavily involved in public school advocacy. He twitters @kevindoylejones.
