A leadership summit shaping the future of healthcare
NEXT Summit presented by TGH convenes a select group of healthcare executives, investors, innovators, and policymakers for an in-depth dialogue on the business forces redefining healthcare.

Designed for strategic engagement and actionable outcomes, NEXT is a forum where ideas move from insight to implementation.
