Healthcare Leadership Symposium 2026 took place October 19–20, 2026.

It was held in New York, New York.

Senior leaders from health systems, hospitals, and academic medicine were the intended audience.

It was most useful for senior leaders at hospitals, health systems and academic medical centers facing turnover, understaffing and leadership burnout, since the speakers were billed to include Sheldon P. McLeod, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County, and Paul F. DeChant of Organizational Wellbeing Solutions. The organizer described a small, participatory format, which favored executives who wanted to trade experience with peers over those who preferred large-hall keynotes or a vendor floor. Vendors and consultants were billed the highest tier at $2,695 against $1,495 for providers, so they should have expected an audience of buyers to be limited in number.

Healthcare executives at a leadership forum in New York usually wear business professional attire, such as suits or tailored separates. Mid-October weather in the city is cool, so a light coat was useful.
