Becker’s Healthcare Podcast

The strategic agenda facing hospital and health system leaders right now is not a short list. Growth in a consolidating market, sustainable margins in a reimbursement environment that rarely moves in your favor, a tech investment cycle that demands both urgency and discipline, and a workforce story that is still being written. Beckers' 14th Annual CEO CFO Roundtable brings together more than 1,500 executive-level attendees
