Healthcare CEO Round Tables

Connect, Learn, and Lead with Healthcare CEOs Who Understand Your World.

Leading a healthcare organization today means navigating some of the most complex regulatory, payer, and workforce dynamics in the country – while still protecting access, quality, and margin.

ABL’s Healthcare CEO Round Tables bring together a select group of healthcare leaders in confidential, professionally facilitated forums where you can pressure-test strategy, share real-world experience, and make better decisions – faster.

When You’re the Healthcare CEO, Everyone Expects You to Have the Answers.

But You’re Often the Only One Asking the Questions.

Inside your organization, board members, physicians, and staff look to you for direction. Outside your organization, most CEO groups don’t fully grasp the realities of leading in healthcare.

ABL is different. We’ve spent over 40 years creating spaces where Healthcare CEOs can speak candidly, get honest feedback, and walk away with practical, peer-tested strategies.

Running a healthcare organization today means:

  • Responding to continual regulatory and reimbursement changes
  • Managing margin compression while labor and supply costs climb
  • Competing for and retaining clinical and administrative talent in a high-cost market
  • Balancing mission, quality, patient access, and financial sustainability
  • Deciding which innovations — AI, telehealth, digital health, new care models — are worth the investment

Why Healthcare CEOs Choose ABL.

CONNECT.

With leaders who
understand your world.
  • Build a trusted circle of non-competing healthcare CEOs and Presidents from hospitals, medical groups, behavioral health, post-acute, community clinics, and health tech.
  • Share openly about payer dynamics, workforce challenges, service line strategy, and board relationships with executives who understand today’s healthcare environment.
  • Develop long-term relationships that lead to collaborations, partnerships, and mutual support.

LEARN.

What’s working now —
from leaders in the field.

Each Round Table focuses on real cases and live issues, such as:

  • How peers are adapting to Medi-Cal and managed care changes, value-based care, and risk contracts
  • Strategies to reduce burnout and improve retention for nurses, physicians, and staff
  • Practical ways to improve access, throughput, and patient experience while maintaining safety and quality
  • Which technologies — EHR optimization, telehealth, digital front door, AI, analytics — are actually delivering better outcomes and margins

No theory. No generic “leadership talks.” Just real conversations about what healthcare leaders are doing — and what’s actually working.

LEAD.

With more clarity,
confidence, and support.

In just one high-impact morning a month, you will:

  • Pressure-test your biggest decisions with a confidential board of peer CEOs
  • See around corners with ideas from leaders who’ve already navigated similar challenges
  • Step out of the daily crisis mode and refocus on strategy, culture, and long-term sustainability
  • Leave each session with 2–3 concrete actions you can apply immediately in your organization

Who Belongs in a Healthcare CEO Round Table?

ABL is not for casual observers. Our most successful members are engaged, curious, and committed to helping each other improve — clinically, operationally, and financially.

    • Digital health or health tech company with strong clinical/operational integration
    • Hospital or health system
    • Medical group, specialty practice or clinic
    • Behavioral health or addiction treatment provider
    • Post-acute or senior care organization (SNF, ALF, home health, hospice, PACE)
    • Health plan
  • You lead a healthcare organization affected by complex regulatory, reimbursement, workforce, payer, quality, access, or operational pressures.
  • $1M+ in annual revenue and 10+ employees.
  • You value candid feedback, practical insight, and are willing to both give and receive advice
