The Executive Community That’s Rewriting the Rules of Healthcare Engagement
The Health Management Academy
We Power Our Community to Drive Health Forward.
In today’s healthcare landscape, access to information is abundant, but access to decision-makers remains rare. That’s why more industry executives are seeking something different, changing their engagement strategy from attending more crowded conferences to more exclusive events providing both time and space to meet the health system executives in the room where trusted relationships, not transactions, drive the conversation.
At The Health Management Academy (THMA), we’ve spent over 25 years cultivating an exclusive community of industry and health system changemakers, a place where executives don’t just meet; they collaborate.
This is Executive Convening, and it has rewritten the rules of engagement.
A Different Kind of Executive Network
THMA’s executive community was built for those who believe that real impact in healthcare comes from shared understanding. Executive Convening presents the opportunity for a true peer network, where CEOs, Chief Growth Officers, and Marketing leaders from the industry sit alongside Health System CXOs behind closed doors to engage in transparent, meaningful dialogue around the challenges shaping the future of care.
What makes it different?
For starters, every Forum event is carefully curated to foster intimacy, trust, and executive-level alignment. There are no nametag scans. No breakout sessions squeezed between product pitches disguised as industry topics discussions. Just candid conversations with people who hold the responsibility and power to shape what’s next.
A Seat at the Right Table
Gaining meaningful access to large health system CXOs has become increasingly difficult in today’s market. Health system decision-makers are inundated with noise. Outreach is screened. Time is protected. Cold entry points rarely work.
That’s what our health system members value – it's something more enduring than visibility—they value presence, transparently discussing challenges without a sales pitch at the end of each conversation, and the ability to connect with partners who fully understand their challenges and provide real, thought-provoking solutions.
Whether it's a CIO roundtable on AI adoption, a CFO-led discussion on economic agility, or a cross-functional retreat exploring workforce and care delivery innovation, THMA’s exclusive access and careful curation model gives you a seat at the right table in a room where the agenda reflects real CXO priorities, and where your voice adds to the conversation, not distracts from it.
Building Momentum Year-Round
Establishing credibility with health system CXOs means showing up informed.
Gaining a competitive advantage over other industry companies means staying ahead on all market shifts, updates, and trends happening in your industry. THMA equips you with ongoing access to the latest intelligence to ensure you are briefed on priorities that matter most to maximize all health system CXO interactions.
Through THMA’s Executive Hub, industry leaders gain access to timely research, proprietary CXO surveys, live briefings, and insights you simply won’t find anywhere else. From policy changes and economic forecasts to emerging care models and health system operating strategies, THMA can walk into every conversation prepared and relevant to what is on the minds of health system CXOs.
The Executive Hub also provides an inside look at the topics being discussed behind closed doors at other Executive Forums so if you can’t attend, you don’t miss out. As an industry member, you receive key insights across various executive convening forums along with key topics and discussion takeaways, regardless of which persona-based membership program within THMA you’ve joined. We keep you informed and connected, delivering incomparable value to your team and organization.
As Bruce Brandes, long-time industry executive member of THMA and 35+ year healthcare industry expert, recently stated in a THMA webinar:
“In healthcare today, you can’t wait for the RFP to start showing up. You need to be in the room before the problem is fully defined—listening, learning, and earning the right to be part of the solution.”

Elevating the Standard
At THMA, we believe the most productive partnerships rise above commerce. We also believe that exclusivity, when done right, creates the kind of environment where executive presence matters, conversations deepen, and opportunities emerge organically.
With limited seats at each forum for industry members, THMA’s community of healthcare executives isn’t designed for everyone. It’s designed for those who want to look for more meaningful executive engagement with top U.S. health systems, learn from their C-suite members as together they collaborate to shape healthcare’s future and build trusted relationships that go beyond the transaction.
