This year’s Strategic Leadership Summit advances the National Alliance’s priorities to accelerate employer-led healthcare market transformation—driving greater transparency and more direct approaches to healthcare contracting. No single organization can change the market alone. But when employers align around expectations for market and policy change, their shared voice becomes a powerful force to redefine value and accountability.

Employers and healthcare stakeholders will share actionable strategies to build a more efficient, accountable, and equitable healthcare system. Sessions will explore:

• Direct-to-consumer and direct-to-employer pharmaceutical models that remove middlemen, increase transparency, and better align incentives around patient access and employer value
• Employer-aligned primary care models that improve access, reduce complexity, deliver predictable costs, enhance the employee experience, and support better health outcomes
• Onsite and nearsite clinics that give employers greater cost control while expanding primary care access, convenience, and care coordination—and reducing unnecessary spending
• Direct contracting partnerships that move beyond traditional hospital networks to prioritize value, quality, and transparency
