  • Location: Los Angeles, CA

This is Los Angeles, and this is our moment. The NAHSE 2026 Annual Education Conference and Everett V. Fox Case Competition isn’t just coming to the City of Angels; it’s stepping onto center stage with purpose, urgency, and vision. From October 7–9, 2026, healthcare leaders, innovators, students, and change-makers from across the country will gather under the bright lights to confront what’s next and decide who we choose to be in this chapter of healthcare.

“Lights, Camera, Action! The Time Is Now: Transformation, Innovation, and Policy Change” is a call. A call to stop waiting for permission. A call to move beyond conversations and into courageous action. A call to transform systems that were never designed with all of us in mind and to reimagine healthcare through equity, innovation, and bold leadership.

Across three powerful days, NAHSE will bring together voices that matter, executives, policymakers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, educators, and future leaders, to explore the forces shaping healthcare today and tomorrow. From groundbreaking ideas and real-world solutions, to policy conversations that demand accountability and change, this conference is where vision meets responsibility.

And at the heart of it all, the Everett V. Fox Case Competition will spotlight the brilliance, creativity, and leadership of the next generation, reminding us that the future isn’t coming someday. It’s already here, watching how we lead.

Los Angeles is the backdrop. Healthcare equity is the mission. Leadership is the role we all must play. The cameras are on. The lights are bright. NAHSE 2026 is where we stop talking about change, and take action.
