How AMC leaders are translating workforce and research into business value
Academic medical centers are facing a convergence of pressures: Medicaid cuts under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, tightening NIH funding and labor costs that now represent 60% of total hospital expenses, up 5.6% in 2025. For many C-suites and boards, the question has become unavoidable — is the academic mission a strategic asset or a sunk cost?
Leaders from Mass General Brigham, OU Health, Northwestern Medicine, Emory Healthcare, Rush University System for Health and other AMCs answered that question at Becker's 16th Annual Meeting. Their answer: translate the mission, don't defund it.
The results speak for themselves. OU Health grew revenue organically from $1.6 billion to $3.6 billion following a merger. UChicago Medicine increased grant submissions 48% year over year. And UVA Health attracted a major pharmaceutical partnership through transparent funds flow. This whitepaper captures the strategies behind those outcomes and more.
