Curiosity might be the most underrated leadership skill in healthcare right now. Matthew Cox, FHFMA, CPA, EVP and CFO at Corewell Health and 2026-27 HFMA Chair, makes the case simply: the leaders who stay curious are the ones willing to experiment, willing to fail, and willing to try again. In a rapidly shifting industry, that posture isn't just admirable — it's essential. Nearly half of healthcare finance professionals already envision hospitals shifting away from their traditional acute care role within the next decade. Navigating that shift will require exactly the kind of forward-leaning leadership this moment demands. 📖 Read the full report → https://hubs.ly/Q04gkMpN0 👉 Join HFMA today to access more essential resources for healthcare finance leaders: https://hubs.ly/Q04gkYW-0 #HospitalOfTheFuture #HFMA #HealthcareLeadership

You only get one shot at trust. Sarah Hatchett, SVP and CIO at Cleveland Clinic, has a clear-eyed view of what separates AI rollouts that take root from ones that quietly get abandoned: it comes down to whether the people using the tools find value in them from day one. Pushing technology before it's ready doesn't just slow adoption — it poisons the well for future innovation. In a system where 89% of finance leaders see tech as the single fastest force reshaping healthcare, getting the rollout right isn't a nice-to-have. It's a competitive advantage. 📖 Read the full report → https://hubs.ly/Q04gvR-l0 👉 Join HFMA today to access more essential resources for healthcare finance leaders: https://hubs.ly/Q04gvSnt0 #HospitalOfTheFuture #HFMA #AIinHealthcare #HealthcareLeadership

There's a reason urgency has replaced optimism in so many healthcare conversations right now. Jeremy Friese, MD, Founder & CEO of Humata Health doesn't sugarcoat it — and neither does the data. Healthcare finances are not on sustainable footing, and the organizations that treat this moment as business as usual are taking the biggest risk of all. The leaders featured in HFMA's Hospital of the Future Part 1 aren't waiting. They're building toward what comes next. 📖 Read the full report → https://hubs.ly/Q04gjch10 👉 Join HFMA today to access more essential resources for healthcare finance leaders: https://hubs.ly/Q04gj0lS0 #HospitalOfTheFuture #HFMA #HealthcareLeadership

As HFMA looks ahead to the next 80 years, members like Trent Chastain of Hendricks Regional Health are thinking about what leadership in healthcare finance will require next.

And in the years ahead, it will matter even more. ➡️𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗛𝗙𝗠𝗔 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁?
