2026 Neuroscience Conference: THMA Neurosciences Forum

December 2-4, 2026

Irving, TX

Engage Directly with Health System Neurosciences Leaders

Neuroscience service line leaders face mounting pressure to scale across complex delivery networks — expanding access, driving innovation, and defending market position amid rising demand, specialist scarcity, and shifting care sites. Too often, they tackle these challenges alone, without peers who truly understand the complexity of leading neuroscience at the system level.

The Health Management Academy's Neurosciences Forum was built to change that. This intimate, retreat-style event convenes senior administrative and physician dyad leaders from Leading Health Systems nationwide alongside thought leaders from the most innovative healthcare companies, for strategic, peer-driven dialogue. Participants engage in confidential, high-impact conversations shaping how health systems organize, invest in, scale, and partner within the neuroscience enterprise.

The THMA Difference Lies in Access, Intentional Design, and a Strict Focus on Community

The Neurovascular Forum creates a purpose-built space for executive-level engagement. Every session, social setting, and touchpoint is curated to foster meaningful, candid dialogue between fellow neurosciences service line leaders and select industry innovators, most commonly CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, and strategic product leaders.

Prospective Neurosciences Forum Topics

Building the neuroscience platform: How health systems are organizing neuroscience as an enterprise service line—governance, systemwide strategy, performance accountability, and program integration across neuro services.

The new economics of ambulatory neuro: Evaluating ambulatory growth, site-of-care shift, infusion strategy, imaging, rehab, specialty clinics, referral capture, and program economics in a high-demand, capacity-constrained market.

Access as growth strategy: How neuroscience leaders are addressing specialist scarcity, referral pathways, wait times, hub-and-spoke coverage models, and capacity redesign to improve access and patient retention.

Innovation adoption at scale: How health systems evaluate, fund, operationalize, and scale emerging therapies, devices, diagnostics, AI, digital tools, and new care models across neuroscience programs.

Complex care pathways across the continuum: Redesigning acute, ambulatory, procedural, rehab, and post-acute pathways for complex neuroscience populations—stroke, spine, movement disorders, epilepsy, and neuro-oncology.

Partnerships that expand reach: How neuroscience leaders are using partnerships, coverage models, technology, virtual care, and asset-light strategies to extend reach, improve performance, and differentiate.
