Most pressing issue that IHCs face: Healthcare is a highly regulated industry that is facing financial pressures on multiple fronts. Staying current on changing laws and regulations, optimizing business opportunities, and doing more with less while threats of funding cuts loom on the horizon are always a challenge.

Evolution of the IHC position: Supporting healthcare leadership during and following the COVID-19 pandemic has required adaptability and partnership as we optimize service delivery in creative ways that promote high quality services and long-term financial sustainability.
