TEDMED is a multidisciplinary community of innovators and leaders who share a common determination to create a better future in health and medicine. This program features brilliant short talks and stunning artistic performances that celebrate the power of unexpected connections to create important new possibilities.

Speakers for this session include:

Mick Cornett
Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett will tell the story of how the people of his city are transforming themselves, together.

Sally Okun
Sally Okun of PatientsLikeMe, one of the first social networks for health, reveals what has emerged from years of openly sharing data: the patients' lexicon.

David Agus
One of the world's leading cancer doctors, David Agus will show that cancer isn't a disease, it's a process, a lifelong dynamic balance that goes on in all of us, the "sick" and "healthy" alike.
