January 6, 2026Tim Cassidy- GDS Group Healthcare Summit, April 16th 2025
Dr. Gregory Adaka delivered a powerful and thought-provoking perspective during our panel, “Medicine & Social Media: Managing Public Misinformation in the Digital Era.” His ability to dissect the ethical complexities of free speech in healthcare communication and the dangers of digital misinformation was both timely and impactful.
Dr. Adaka’s commentary struck a chord with the audience, particularly his insight: “Nobody wants to stamp on your right to express yourself with free speech, but how ethical is it to shout 'fire' in a crowded theater?” His thoughtful framing reminded us of the responsibility that comes with digital influence in healthcare—and the potential consequences when that responsibility is misused.
We were honored to host Dr. Adaka as a panelist. His contributions challenged attendees to think more critically about the sources and motives behind online health information and underscored the vital role of ethical leadership in today’s media-driven medical landscape.

November 14, 2025The Shadow Me Next Podcast, with Ashley Love PA
Dr Adaka is an incredible storyteller, clinician, and educator. I am amazed by his ability to pack an immense amount of content into one conversation and deliver it with ease, humor, and relatability. His compelling stories beautifully describe the differences in healthcare without disparaging other international approaches, highlighting instead how diverse philosophies can coexist and complement one another in the shared pursuit of patient healing and well-being. A truly incredible person and wonderful guest.

November 5, 2025An outstanding keynote at the Healthcare Innovation Fusion
Dr Gregory Adaka delivered an outstanding and thought-provoking keynote at the Healthcare Innovation Fusion. His talk, “The “Hard Problem is Not a Problem at All ” was both informative and deeply inspiring. He tackled the challenges of the US healthcare system with clarity, conviction and a compelling call to action. His ability to distill complex issues into actionable ideas - especially around expanding healthcare coverage from the grassroots level- resonated powerfully with the audience. A truly impactful voice in healthcare leadership.

What to expect
The Health of Leaders Shapes the Health of Their Businesses
Poor health among executives and entrepreneurs isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a business liability. Countless studies confirm that when leaders neglect their well-being, their organisations suffer in productivity, morale, and profitability.
In today’s information-saturated world, misinformation about health and healthcare is rampant. From Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, business leaders must be equipped with accurate, actionable insights. But knowledge alone isn’t enough—we must also be inspired to act.
Attendees will leave the session with:
-Clarity and Motivation: A clear understanding of how their health directly impacts their business—and the drive to make meaningful changes.
-Empowerment Through Knowledge: Tools to cut through the noise and misinformation, enabling smarter health decisions.
-Ripple Effect Influence: The ability to share these insights with peers, teams, and loved ones, creating a culture of wellness.
-Stronger Relationships: Improved communication and connection with staff, colleagues, family, and friends.
Business Benefits: Enhanced staff retention, increased productivity and a healthier bottom line.
In conclusion, good healthcare for professionals is not just a benefit; it's a strategic imperative that leads to individual success and organisational growth. Dr Adaka will tell your attendees all about it- delivering valuable, memorable and actionable information with humour!
