The most forward-thinking employers and benefits leaders in the United States are demanding more — better outcomes, smarter care management, and access to the best providers in the world for their most complex cases. Lee Lewis of the Health Transformation Alliance and Christine Hale of Gallagher are two of the most influential figures shaping that shift, collectively representing some of the largest employers and most complex patient populations in the country.

Lee is at the forefront of implementing innovations that most employers haven't attempted, navigating a system that doesn't make change easy. Christine operates where the stakes are highest — ensuring the most complex, highest-acuity patients get to the right hospitals at the right time, nationally. Together they represent millions of covered lives and a level of purchasing influence that reshapes how healthcare is delivered. This session is a rare, unfiltered look at what the most sophisticated employers and benefits leaders are actually doing — and what every hospital, insurer, and healthcare innovator in the world needs to understand about where US employer healthcare is heading next.
