𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙔𝙀𝙇 𝙟𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚𝙨! 🎉

In today's second masterclass, the 2026 cohort of emerging leaders gained insights into integration and innovation. Through a presentation of our programme partner Kaiser Permanente's history, organizational structure, and key success factors, the group discussed a hospital's sphere of influence, beyond medical care.

👏 Thank you to this year's YEL participants for your engagement and enthusiasm - looking forward to seeing you again at masterclass 3.

And a special thank you to Marty Ardron, FACHE, Payman Roshan, and Kaiser Permanente for such an excellent session and your ongoing commitment to the programme.
