Our roundtable sessions put the conversation in your hands. Seated in small groups with fellow leaders, you'll work through a series of guided discussion questions designed to surface shared challenges, fresh thinking, and practical takeaways. Every voice matters, and the best insights come from the people at the table.

This roundtable discussion will focus on the partnerships redefining independent rural hospitals. Mergers and acquisitions aren't the only path forward but staying independent requires rethinking who you partner with and how. This session surfaces what's actually working.

• What partnerships have changed your hospital's trajectory in the last two years — clinical, operational, or otherwise?
• Where have you found unexpected allies?
• What partnerships will you explore in the next 12-18 months?
