C-suite Address and Breakfast | Forging One Future: Building Culture and Teams Through Transformational Change

With community-based care at the center of an integrated system, local strategic transactions can be pivotal to increasing access to high-quality, specialized care while gaining operational efficiencies and more robust system and data analytics. In 2022, Endeavor Health marked the beginning of a transformative journey as one unified health system through the merger of NorthShore University HealthSystem—which had recently acquired Swedish Hospital and Northwest Community Healthcare—and Edward-Elmhurst Health. This session explores how the organization has navigated the complexities involved in these mergers by focusing on fostering a shared, inclusive culture. Join J.P. Gallagher, FACHE, president and CEO of Endeavor Health, as he shares insights into how the organization is building high-performing teams amid ongoing change and a dynamic healthcare environment for providers and patients. Discover practical strategies for leading through complexity and integration.

This session is only open to attendees in C-suite positions at provider organizations representing hospitals and health systems.
