The Business of Health Care
February 6, 2026 I University of Miami
The annual Miami Herbert Business School Business of Health Care Conference brings together U.S. and global industry leaders to provide valuable insights into the most pressing issues shaping the health sector today.
Health care reforms, pricing pressures, premium increases, and the reorganization of key government agencies are quickly reshaping U.S. health care.
- How are providers, insurers, drugmakers, and patients managing shifting policy and public health priorities?
- How do they balance a drive toward lower costs with access and quality considerations?
- Are AI and other disruptive technologies increasingly the answer to improved clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies?
CEOs and presidents of top U.S. healthcare associations will share their experiences and takeaways as they navigate the complex changes across the nation’s largest industry.
