Date: Thur, May 7

Time: 1:00 – 2:00 PM ET

Speaker: Aaron Carroll, MD, MS is President & CEO of Academy Health

Intro: Aaron Carroll, MD, MS is President & CEO of AcademyHealth, the leading professional society for health services research and health policy in the United States. A nationally recognized physician, researcher, and policy leader, Aaron sits at the intersection of healthcare economics, delivery system design, and evidence-based policymaking.

He is widely known for translating complex healthcare policy, Medicare and Medicaid dynamics, prevention economics, and payment reform into clear, data-driven insights that challenge conventional wisdom. His work focuses on what actually improves outcomes and affordability, and what does not, across public programs, commercial markets, and care delivery models.

In this session, Aaron will bring a rigorous, research-backed perspective on how health policy, reimbursement structures, and system incentives shape real-world care delivery—offering MSO leaders, health system executives, and healthcare operators a clearer lens on where policy creates opportunity, where it creates friction, and how leaders should think strategically about the future of U.S. healthcare.
