September 18 | Austin, TX
The Hospitalogy VBC Retreat is a 1-day, application-only leadership event in Austin, TX for the brightest minds in value-based care. We’re bringing together 40 leaders across health systems and ACOs to reinvision the future of VBC.
In 2025, large VBC-focused organizations have imploded under the pressure of volatile markets, uncertain regulatory futures, and changing patient consumer behavior.
Now, it’s up to leaders who still believe in the promise of VBC to rise to the challenge.
The industry is at a turning point. But, from necessity comes innovation.
That’s what the Hospitalogy VBC Retreat is all about.
It’s an intimate, day-long retreat designed to facilitate organic discussion and problem-solving amongst top leaders in VBC.
Through candid roundtables, data-backed strategy sessions, and peer-led case studies, we’ll examine what’s working in VBC, what’s not, and what needs to change.
It’s not time to iterate. It’s time to hit reset.
Spend the day discussing complex challenges in specialty VBC, payor alignment, the new economics of risk, and more—then, work on your backswing (or just take in the views) in sunny Austin, TX.
If that sounds like a room you want to be in, I hope you’ll take a minute to apply.
See you on the green.
