They will learn practical approaches to tackling hospital market power, building Centers of Excellence, and designing programs that improve quality while lowering costs. The session will highlight how smart contracting in primary care, pharmacy, and data transparency can advance accountability and equity. Attendees will leave with concrete takeaways including contract clauses, negotiation strategies, and policy levers that employers and coalitions can put into action right away. This high-impact conversation features two mid-market employers from outside of Florida who have each undergone multi-year transformations of their healthcare programs with results that speak for themselves. These leaders didn’t settle for the industry’s status quo. Instead, they embraced a true procurement process, approached compliance as a way to gain leverage rather than a checkbox, sought out advisors instead of transactional brokers who partnered under a co-fiduciary model - a bold approach that few in the market are willing to take. The result: measurable health improvements, smarter cost control, and programs that meet compliance standards in both letter and spirit. Dr. Cunningham-Hill will open the discussion with why health matters in the workplace and the connection of vaccinations to employee well-being, productivity and community health. The discussion will broaden to the importance of developing a Culture of Health, successful approaches to implementing a Culture of Health and why Culture of Health initiatives fail. Key takeaways will include how vaccination is a gateway to bigger conversations on health culture, how employers have influence and responsibility in reversing negative health trends, and why building a Culture of Health is not a “perk” but a business imperative for resilience, performance, and reputation.
