Season 2, Episode 4 – The Health System of the Future: Evolving Enterprise Strategies, Ambulatory Growth and M&A Perspectives with Andre Maksimow
What does it mean to be a health system in 2026? In this episode of Bright Minds in Healthcare Delivery, Eric Tower welcomes Andre Maksimow, Senior Vice President in Kaufman Hall's Mergers & Acquisitions Practice, for a discussion on the forces reshaping healthcare delivery that will impact the health system of the future. Andre shares how health systems have evolved beyond the traditional hospital-centric model and the resulting impact on inorganic growth strategies and M&A dynamics.
Eric and Andre explore the challenges and opportunities health system leaders face as they navigate declining hospital margins, accelerating physician practice losses, post-acute care constraints, and increased retail healthcare threats. They also discuss how organizations can evaluate strategic investments across the broader enterprise and position themselves for long-term success in an increasingly competitive healthcare landscape.
