2026 PA Chamber Healthcare Summit

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Healthcare is a leading priority for business leaders who want to ensure workforce retention and that their employees can perform at their best both physically and mentally. However, ongoing concerns about high costs, a pro-plaintiff legal climate, and rising medical malpractice claims create uncertainty. Our Healthcare Summit is designed to address your concerns and provide information about today’s healthcare-related topics! Join us for this great day of learning and discussions with lawmakers, healthcare professionals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and more.

Program topics include:

– State and federal healthcare policy updates — what new and proposed policies mean for employers, providers, and patients across Pennsylvania.

– Strengthening rural healthcare access — addressing hospital sustainability, provider shortages, and innovative care models that expand access in underserved communities.

– AI and digital innovation in healthcare — how emerging technologies are improving patient care, lowering costs, and reducing workforce burnout.

– Workforce development and talent pipelines — strategies to recruit, retain, and train the next generation of healthcare professionals.

– Public-private collaboration — aligning business, government, and healthcare leaders to build a more resilient, affordable healthcare system.
