Healthcare is navigating a period of extraordinary change. Shifting regulatory priorities, growing workforce and labor pressures, and an evolving reimbursement landscape are challenging leaders to rethink how their organizations prepare, respond, and position themselves for the future.

Join Healthcare Leaders of New York (HLNY) for our 2026 Annual Mini Congress on Thursday, October 22, at the New York Academy of Medicine for an engaging day of executive-level dialogue focused on three of the most consequential issues facing healthcare leaders today.

Mini-Congress will be opened by our ACHE Immediate Past Chair, Michelle Sutton, FACHE – President & CEO of North Oaks Health System.

Our Mini Congress will bring together senior healthcare executives, industry leaders, and subject matter experts to share perspectives, examine emerging challenges, and discuss practical leadership strategies across three timely conversations with the theme of:

POLICY – PEOPLE – PAYMENT

9:15am – 10:45am — Leading Through Regulatory Change: What Healthcare Executives Need to Know Now
Explore how an evolving regulatory and policy environment is influencing organizational strategy, operations, compliance, innovation, and the communities healthcare organizations serve.

11:00am – 12:30pm — Workforce Under Pressure: Labor Relations, Leadership, and the Future of Healthcare Work
Examine today’s changing healthcare workforce, including evolving labor dynamics, recruitment and retention pressures, employee expectations, organizational culture, and the leadership strategies needed to build a resilient workforce for the future.

2:15pm – 3:45pm — The New Economics of Healthcare: Leading Through Reimbursement Transformation
Consider how changing reimbursement models, payer dynamics, public funding pressures, and the continued movement toward value are reshaping healthcare economics—and the strategic decisions leaders must make to maintain financial sustainability while advancing their missions.

Whether you lead within a health system, provider organization, payer, healthcare-adjacent business, or community organization, the HLNY Annual Mini Congress offers an opportunity to hear diverse executive perspectives, connect with fellow healthcare leaders, and engage in conversations shaping the future of our industry.
