Rethinking the Ambulatory Care Network

As healthcare systems continue to evolve, traditional ambulatory care networks are being re-examined through a more strategic, data-driven lens. Many organizations are grappling with outdated site distributions, rising operational costs, shifting demographics, and the growing demand for integrated, patient-centered access. This session brings together leaders who are actively reshaping their organizations’ ambulatory strategies to better align with future growth, financial sustainability, and community needs.

Join us for a dynamic 1.5-hour panel discussion exploring how healthcare executives are redefining where—and how—care is delivered. Our panelists will discuss network planning, ideal geographic placement of services, capital considerations, emerging models of care, telehealth integration, and approaches to building a more agile, efficient, and patient-focused ambulatory footprint.
