Academic medical centers are central to our healthcare delivery ecosystem. With the dual focus on education and patient care, these unique institutions are hubs of innovation and discovery. But there are challenges ahead. C-suite teams must navigate rising costs, workforce shortages, growing health disparities and technology integration, to provide essential services and thrive in the future. Join this elite event with speakers from the top academic medical centers across the U.S. who will share their bold ideas and exciting strategies to transform healthcare.
