Hosted by the Milken Institute in Washington, the 2025 Future of Health Summit convened over 200 speakers to address urgent systemic challenges including rising costs, stagnant life expectancy, and a 10-point decline in public trust. The event highlighted critical interventions such as Dr. Jill Biden's new Women's Health Network, Centene's food-as-medicine data initiatives, and Jefferson Health's AI-driven physician support programs, while launching nine strategic publications on biomedical research. Key participants navigated complex tensions regarding AI's role in workflows, the need for new financing models for expensive therapies, and the precarious status of Affordable Care Act tax credits, ultimately urging leaders to leverage micro-level patient-clinician trust for future reform.
