A State of the State on the Healthcare Industry

Healthcare in Michigan is navigating a period of significant change. Hospitals and health systems continue to face financial pressures, workforce shortages, increasing demand for services, evolving regulatory requirements, and rapidly advancing technology. At the same time, leaders across the industry are working to improve access to care, address population health challenges, and prepare for a future that looks markedly different from the past.

Join Brian Peters, CEO of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association, for an insightful discussion on the current state of Michigan's healthcare landscape. Drawing on his unique statewide perspective, Brian will provide healthcare leaders with a broader understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing Michigan, including the political and policy landscape shaping healthcare at both the state and federal levels. He will also offer perspectives on the trends likely to influence the industry in the years ahead. Whether your focus is operations, quality, strategy, or leadership, this conversation will help put today's healthcare environment into context and prepare organizations for what comes next.
