Spring Leadership Forum 2022

Event Date: 3/21/2022 - 3/24/2022

Event Overview

Transforming while performing—how Alliance member health plans are evolving to continue delivering on their missions

During the Spring 2022 Leadership Forum, Alliance member executives come together to dig into tough questions facing regional and provider-sponsored health plans. The agenda offers important insights on the current policy and regulatory landscape, coupled with broader market intel and the long-term implications for healthcare. We’ll also dig into the challenges we all face when it comes to people and culture. Now more than ever, intentionally building and maintaining unstoppable cultures means the difference between success and failure. We’ll hear from member health plans that are developing new models for growth – rather than growing in standard market share, new geography or new service lines, Alliance members are leveraging assets differently to generate revenue. We’ll also explore what it will take to achieve radical transparency in pharmacy, and how Alliance member plans can be a meaningful part of that transformation.
