Michigan Healthcare Workforce Summit: Building What's Next

This event will bring together partners to identify Michigan's workforce challenges and develop practical strategies to address them.
About this Event

Michigan's healthcare workforce is at a pivotal moment. While significant progress has been made to strengthen the talent pipeline, critical gaps remain that require bold thinking, cross-sector collaboration, and innovative solutions.

The Michigan Healthcare Workforce Summit: Building What's Next will bring together healthcare leaders, educators, employers, policymakers, workforce professionals, and community partners to identify Michigan's most pressing workforce challenges and develop practical strategies to address them.

Together, participants will explore the questions that will shape the future of healthcare in Michigan:

• How can we accelerate innovative workforce solutions for rural communities?
• How should healthcare organizations reimagine recruitment and retention in an era of artificial intelligence and rapidly evolving technology?
• What new skills will tomorrow's healthcare workforce need, and how do we prepare today's workforce to meet those demands?
• Which emerging occupations and new models of care should Michigan embrace to better serve patients and communities?
• What workforce priorities should the next Governor and Michigan's political leaders champion to ensure a strong, sustainable healthcare workforce for the future?

This will be more than a conference—it will be a working summit. Through keynote discussions, collaborative conversations, and solution-focused dialogue, participants will help identify actionable recommendations that can inform healthcare organizations, educators, policymakers, and leaders.

Join us as we move beyond identifying challenges to building the solutions Michigan's healthcare workforce needs for the future.

This event will be hosted by Michigan Health Council in partnership with the Michigan Health and Hospital Association, Michigan Primary Care Association, Michigan Center for Rural Health, Michigan Association of Home Health and Hospice, and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of Tribal Government Services and Policy.
