Navigating the Future of U.S. Healthcare
with Dr. Don Berwick, Founder & President Emeritus, Institute for Healthcare Improvement
*Recording will be available to those who register*
Register to join us (or receive a link to the recording) for a deeply practical and timely conversation with Dr. Don Berwick, one of the most respected voices in American healthcare.
The U.S. healthcare system is complex, costly, and often frustrating — for patients, families, and the professionals who serve them. With major changes now underway in Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, Medicare/Medicaid funding and vaccination policies, how can individuals make informed decisions, protect their well-being, and advocate for better care in the years ahead?
Dr. Berwick is a leading figure in healthcare quality and reform. He was co-founder and CEO of the influential Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), as well as the former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). A pediatrician by training and a pioneer of the modern patient safety movement. He also contributed to the focus on patient experience and satisfaction as top goals for healthcare systems.
This episode of The Unity Forum will explore:
- How individuals and families can prepare for changes in insurance affordability and access
- How healthcare professionals can stay grounded and mission-focused as the consequences of these financial policy changes impact health outcomes
- What healthcare policy positions should patients, families and care professionals advocate for the benefit of all in 2026
This discussion is part of The Unity Forum, a cross-partisan webinar and podcast series powered by Alumni for Freedom & Democracy, designed to elevate open dialogue, civic engagement, and practical insight on the challenges that affect us all.
