HLTH 2025: Petunia is ready
The official mascot of the health tech conference brings some fun and cheer to the event.
Petunia has one of the best job titles imaginable: Chief Innovation Unicorn.
For those who have attended the HLTH conference, Petunia is a fun and familiar figure. She’s the official mascot of HLTH, and is the subject of plenty of photo requests during the conference. HLTH 2025 runs Sunday through Wednesday at the Venetian Expo Center in Las Vegas.
RIch Scarfo, president of HLTH, says Petunia is a popular presence.
“Petunia is always busy,” he laughs. “Petunia has been great. That's our mascot, as you know, and that's just part of our way of saying, we're in a really serious business. We're catering to an industry that touches every single person in the country, and we want to bring a little bit of happiness and levity to those couple of days when we're all together. So Petunia helps do that.”
