The financial realities facing U.S. hospitals and health systems have never been more complex. Margin pressures, workforce volatility, rising capital costs, shifting reimbursement, and the accelerating pace of technological disruption continue to redefine what it means to lead with confidence. Yet amid this uncertainty, healthcare finance executives are architecting a new era – one defined not by constraint, but by reinvention.

The 2026 Healthcare Finance Institute will bring together accomplished finance leaders in a highly curated, intimate setting to explore what true resilience looks like in today’s volatile environment. Through interactive panels, peer exchange, and expert-led discussions, we will examine innovative strategies for strengthening financial performance, unlocking operational agility, and navigating the economic headwinds reshaping healthcare delivery.

This year’s theme, Resilience Reimagined, challenges leaders to think beyond traditional cost-containment models to build organizations capable of adapting, evolving, and thriving regardless of external pressures. Together, we will uncover forward-looking approaches that blend financial discipline with strategic boldness, empowering organizations to meet the moment and accelerate toward a more sustainable future.

Join us as we reimagine what’s possible for healthcare finance and chart a path toward enduring strength and stability in a rapidly shifting economic landscape.
