Leading in healthcare today requires extraordinary balance. Healthcare CEOs and senior executives are navigating generational complexity on both sides of the stethoscope. They’re leading workforces that often include four or five generations of team members—while also serving patients and community stakeholders that span six or more generations.
Layer in rapid technological innovation, evolving workforce expectations, changing patient preferences, and shifting financial realities, and it’s clear why healthcare leadership today is more challenging—and more important—than ever.
That’s what makes The Health Management Academy (HMA) such an essential organization. HMA brings together senior healthcare leaders from across the country to connect, learn, and grow through high-trust conversations, practical insights, and world-class events that focus on both leadership and outcomes.
Partnering with HMA to Share Generational Research
CGK President Jason Dorsey was honored to partner with The Health Management Academy at their recent CEO Summit, where he shared CGK’s latest research on bridging generations in healthcare. The session explored how Gen Z is poised to transform the healthcare workforce—and how every generation brings unique strengths that can help healthcare systems thrive in times of change.
The discussion and Q&A that followed were dynamic, with leaders exploring real-world applications of the data and sharing their own experiences leading multigenerational teams. Each CEO in attendance also received an early look at CGK’s upcoming State of Gen Z® 2025 Research Report and a copy of Jason’s bestselling book, Zconomy, both designed to help healthcare leaders build stronger, more connected teams.
Highlights from the CEO Summit
The event stood out for its openness, insight, and shared commitment to improving healthcare at every level. Key themes included:
-
A focus on mission and measurable outcomes that serve teams, patients, and communities
-
Authentic experience-sharing between healthcare CEOs and system leaders
-
Open, thoughtful dialogue that extended from the main session to dinner conversations
Looking Ahead
We’re grateful to the outstanding Health Management Academy team for their partnership and for creating a space where leaders can learn from one another and from data-driven insights. Events like this reflect the best of healthcare leadership—leaders coming together to tackle complexity, strengthen connection, and shape the future of care.
At CGK, we’re honored to support that mission through research that helps leaders understand, connect, and lead across generations.
