Senior hospital and health system leaders from across the country joined America’s Essential Hospitals’ premier Medicaid Summit, Oct. 26–27, in Chicago. This focused convening of executives shaping strategy at the intersection of payment, policy, and operations examined the Medicaid cuts and financing challenges redefining care delivery for hospitals that anchor their communities. 

This year’s summit focused on implementing Medicaid regulations from H.R. 1 and the implications for essential hospitals. The program opened with a keynote from Eyman Partners, an advisory law firm that provides legal, strategic, and policy counsel to health industry leaders.
