The result is a community of scientists, doctors, advocates, educators, policymakers, and others who are transforming the health of the world.” TIME will host the _TIME100 Impact Dinner: Leaders Shaping the Future of Health_ on February 19 in New York City, conveningtitans, innovators, pioneers, leaders, and catalysts creating tangible change for a healthier population – including those featured on the 2026 TIME100 Health list.
