Agenda Overview

HGS isn’t a trade show floor, it’s a room full of physician leaders and health system executives actively planning their next chapter. Our sponsors don’t just buy exposure; they become part of the conversation, sharing the stage with the people shaping tomorrow’s healthcare landscape. Whether you’re reaching physician owners, practice leaders, or health system executives, HGS offers access that’s hard to replicate anywhere else in the industry.

Start the day with breakfast and peer networking before the program begins.

A welcome from Montecito Medical and framing of the day ahead, the dual imperative of unlocking assets and accelerating care transformation.

Setting the vision for healthcare’s next era: growth, transformation, and what it means for the physician and health system leaders in the room. A forward-looking opening that frames the strategic and financial decisions shaping the industry’s next decade.

Reimbursement compression is squeezing the P&L, but you can’t cut your way to prosperity. This session explores how to attack margin challenges from both sides of the ledger: optimizing operations through AI and technology while unlocking balance sheet assets to fund growth and innovation.

What you’ll explore

• The “Fund and Fix” Model: using proceeds from real estate monetization to finance the high-ROI AI tools that automate billing, reduce denials, and augment the workforce.
• Margin Protection 360: viewing margin as a function of both clinical efficiency and asset efficiency. A 50% empty building is a reimbursement leak just as damaging as a denied claim.
• Doing More With Less: using AI to handle administrative burden while repurposing underutilized square footage for higher-revenue services.
• The mindset shift from survive to thrive in a reimbursement environment that is not getting easier.

A focused midday keynote to reframe mindsets before lunch.

Lunch with peers and speakers. An hour built for the conversations that rarely happen inside the ballroom.

Healthcare is undergoing a fundamental shift in where care is delivered, who delivers it, and how organizations build sustainable models to meet rising demand. As populations age, rural access gaps widen, and consumer expectations continue to evolve, health systems and physician enterprises must rethink traditional care delivery, not as a constraint, but as a strategic opportunity. The migration of care toward the home and virtual settings is often viewed as a threat to physical real estate. In reality, it is a powerful tool for yield optimization. This closing session features leaders from health systems and physician group leaders who are redesigning their footprints to ensure every square foot of clinical space performs at its highest financial potential.

What you’ll explore

• The High-Acuity Hub Strategy: why moving general care to the home makes MOBs and ASCs more valuable by concentrating the most profitable, complex procedures within your physical walls.
• Repurposing for profit: a practical guide to identifying underutilized space and transitioning it into high-revenue service lines.
• Operational excellence beyond the “disruption” narrative: how leading groups are managing workforce, technology, and patient flow across hybrid (home + facility) delivery.
• Why a distributed care model strengthens, rather than weakens, the underlying real estate asset for investors and stakeholders.

A closing reflection from Montecito Medical on the day’s takeaways and what comes next for the physician and health system leaders in the room.
