Description
Mergers bring new talent but also competing cultures, processes, and expectations. This panel examines how health systems successfully onboard acquired staff — aligning policies, standardizing clinical workflows, and building a shared sense of systemness without erasing local identity. Attendees gain frameworks for integration that preserve morale while accelerating operational consistency.
