Dallas, TX, [Date]: The Healthcare CMO Summit will take place on February 8-9, 2027 at The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas. The two-day program, organized by Marcus Evans, brings together senior clinical leaders to share actionable insight, challenge traditional operating models and drive meaningful change across complex health systems.
As healthcare organizations face rising workforce pressure, rapid technology adoption and tightening financial margins, the summit offers a focused setting where Chief Medical Officers can connect strategy with practical execution. Discussions will center on workforce transformation, AI adoption, clinical integration and operational performance, with the aim of improving patient outcomes, strengthening system efficiency and enhancing patient experience.
Six Priorities for 2027
The agenda is built around six themes shaping clinical leadership today. "AI Without Autopilot" examines how to balance productivity gains against documentation accuracy, physician trust, governance concerns, legal risks and workforce readiness. "The Cost of Care" addresses Medicaid shifts, reimbursement pressure and site neutrality threats while protecting access. "The People Gap" confronts physician shortages, recruitment challenges and workforce pipelines strained by demographic change.
"Capacity Without Construction" explores how throughput, discharge efficiency and resource utilization can expand care delivery capacity. "Leading Through Change" focuses on physician engagement, cross-generational leadership and team cohesion during periods of transformation. "Stewardship in Action" considers how clinical quality, financial performance, operational discipline and value-based care can be aligned around better outcomes.
A Distinguished Speaker Line-Up
The program features keynote presentations, real-life case studies and interactive forums led by respected clinical executives. Presenters include Geralda Xavier, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Atlantic Health System, and David Bordo, Chief Clinical Officer and Interim Chief Medical Officer at Ascension Illinois. Interactive sessions will feature Eric Yoder of AdventHealth Porter, Raksha Joshi, MD, of Saint Peter's HealthCare System, Ikenna Ibe of Atrium Health Pineville, Paul Walter, MD, of Covenant Health, Chintan Desai, MD, of Ascension Wisconsin, and Elan Gada of the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. Nursing perspectives will come from Paula Correa, DNP, MBA, RN, of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, and Susan Hernandez, DNP, MBA, RN, of University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Jason Golbin, DO, EVP and Chief Medical Officer at Catholic Health, will serve as moderator.
Connecting Leaders and Solution Providers
Beyond the program, the summit helps Chief Medical Officers evaluate and partner with relevant suppliers and solution providers. Marcus Evans conducts annual assessments of executive goals and needs, then introduces aligned solutions to simplify a demanding vendor selection process. Solution providers are carefully selected to ensure their offerings match the priorities of attending leaders.
A past attendee, a Chief Medical Officer at Providence South Bay Medical Centers, said: "The quality of both speakers and industry partners is extremely high. The topics discussed were perfect for this level."
