Celebrating 25 Years at our Annual Offsite Meeting

Our recent offsite meeting was a success! Held this year under the theme "25 in 2025",  our team came together for three jam-packed days to celebrate 25 years in business, collaboration, and putting the patient voice at the center of our mission.

This year featured some key highlights:

Ardea Outcomes' Founders Fireside Chat : Our founders, Dr. Kenneth Rockwood and Chere Chapman, engaged in a dynamic discussion about the inspiring story of Ardea Outcomes and our journey so far. The conversation, facilitated by Tara Wickwire, focused on their purpose-led approach to business and our commitment to capturing the patient experience through Goal Attainment Scaling. They also shared the company's origin story and how it was an easy decision for them to become business partners almost 25 years after they first met.
