Over 70 speakers teed up for 2026 Washington Health Policy Commons

As I write this, we are one month away from our 2026 Washington Health Policy Commons conference coming up on October 7th.

Today, we’re releasing our Detailed Agenda, which includes some of the most important and influential voices in Washington State health care and health policy.

It’s a pretty good list of folks, particularly considering we pulled our Convening Panel together on August 11th!

Here are a few of our confirmed speakers that might stand out to you.

• Sen. June Robinson: Chair, Senate Ways and Means Committee
• Colby Takeda: CEO, Pear Suite
• Laurent Rotival: CIO, Cambia Health Solutions
• Rep. Lauren Davis: Member, House Health Care and Wellness Committee
• Sean Graham: Sr. Director, Washington State Medical Association
• Tom Sebastian: CEO, Compass Health
• Umar Farook: EVP, Health Care Services, Premera Blue Cross
• Ashley Thurow: VP, Contracting, Providence Health and Services
• Trinity Wilson: Director, Medicaid and Apple Health, HCA
• Mack Hinson, MD: President, Kinwell Primary Care

I expect we will nail down our final confirmed list of speakers in the next few days.

When it’s completed, the agenda will gather one of the largest, most diverse groups of speakers, thought leaders, and health care executives in Washington State.

We’d be honored to have you join us!

Registration pricing will go up on September 26th. So, if you already know you’re going to want to be with us, get you and your team registered to be with us on October 7th!
