Join us for a timely look at the issues shaping health care leadership in Pennsylvania and beyond. We’ll provide a timely update on the mid-term elections, including what the results may mean for hospitals and health systems and HAP’s advocacy priorities.

Keynote speaker Amer Kaissi, an internationally recognized expert on leadership and resilience, will explore practical ways leaders can build trust, encourage candor and create environments where people feel safe to speak up, learn and contribute.

We will also take time to celebrate the region’s hospitals for their exceptional commitment to organ donation.
