Idaho is on the cusp of significant change in its health care system.
From government reform to market activity, the 2026 Idaho Health Policy Commons will tee up some of the most important topics in Idaho health care and health policy.
We are just starting to recruit our Convening Panel, which will grow to 15-20 voices.
They will meet in early September to develop our Topical Agenda. It means we wait until the last possible second to source ideas for content so that our conversations are as practical and as meaningful as possible.
We’ll then start recruiting speakers from across the spectrum of care. Expect more than 50 speakers from across the Idaho health care spectrum.
This is as multi-silo as one conference can get, with more voices and perspectives than can be biased or influenced.
Each breakout session will be 45 minutes — 30 minutes for the panelists, and then 15 minutes for active discussions with the audience.
Because the experts are in the room, both on the panels and in the audience. So, a meaningful conversation will hear from a range of perspectives, both in the session and outside in the hallways where some of the real work takes place.
So, get registered to be with us, and come ready to to engage with other Idahoans at work to move the health system forward!
Our Convening Panel is a group of smart, thoughtful health care and policy leaders from across the spectrum of care in Idaho.
They help shape the Topical Agenda, help to identify speakers, and keep our conference grounded in the most pressing, practical matters facing Idaho health care today.
Expect this list to continue to grow to about 15-20 of Idaho’s most well connected health care and health policy leaders.
