A new administration, a new Congress, and a new stance on health care that could have major implications at home and the world at large. This year is set to be so major for health care, that we are splitting our Summit into two parts.

The first installment of The Hill's Health Next Summit will be held this March as we explore the campaign promises made by the Republican Administration, dive into the promises made by the new leaders in health care and the issues at the top of the agenda, and how it could play out for women's health, mental health, AI and emerging tech in health care.

Join The Hill as we convene the leading minds in health care, government and the private sector to explore what’s next in health.
