Healthcare affordability has become one of the most urgent challenges facing employers, providers, payers, and patients alike. Rising costs, workforce pressures, and shifting reimbursement models are forcing leaders across the industry to rethink how care is delivered, financed and sustained.

Crain’s 2026 Health Care Leadership Summit brings together health system executives, insurers, employers and other stakeholders to examine not just what the driving costs are but also, more importantly, what is working to bring them down. The summit will explore strategies that improve outcomes while reducing financial strain across the system.

Join us for a discussion on strategies that reshape the future of care delivery. Attendees will gain practical insights into how organizations are navigating today’s pressures and what actions leaders can take now to create a more sustainable, affordable healthcare system.
