2027 THMA Market CEO Forum

What Sets the Market CEO Forum Apart

• Member-Driven Content: Content is shaped by members to reflect what matters most to Market CEOs and Presidents — from leading the site-of-care shift and aligning physicians to making the case for capital, strengthening payer position, and putting AI to work across the market.

Prospective Market CEO Forum Topics

Where to invest, what to let go: With care repricing, Medicaid cuts, and rising costs hitting a portfolio unevenly, how the hardest tradeoffs get made—where to place the bets and what to finally exit. 

Getting ahead of the site-of-care shift: As surgery, infusion, and imaging migrate beyond hospital walls and site-neutral pressure builds, redesigning where care happens to protect access and margin before disruptors get there first. 

The race to align physicians: As PE-backed platforms roll up specialties and independents weigh their options, winning physician alignment—through employment, joint ventures, and partnerships—decides a market's growth, referrals, and access. 

Winning the payer battle in your market: Denials, downgrades, and Medicare Advantage pressure play out at the market level—where leverage is built or lost through access, physician alignment, and market position. 

Making AI pay off where the work happens: Moving from pilot to payoff in the markets where the work gets done—prioritizing the use cases that ease workforce strain, unclog throughput, and actually reach the P&L.  

Leading people through relentless change: As restructuring and workforce reductions test engagement across dispersed portfolios, how culture and mission hold—retaining talent through disruption and building the operator bench the enterprise draws on next.
