4 To our readers and partners, I want to extend my sincere thanks to the many leaders who continue to shape the healthcare industry and who choose to engage with Becker's Healthcare as a trusted platform for sharing insights, challenges and bold ideas. Our goal at Becker's has always been clear: to provide relevant, timely and actionable information and connections for the executives driving transformation in healthcare. As the challenges facing our field grow more complex, we remain committed to earning your time, trust and attention by highlighting the leaders who are advancing care delivery, strategy, workforce models, innovation and financial performance. is issue reflects that commitment. You'll find insights from Peter Banko, president and CEO of Baystate Health, on why leadership can't be a popularity contest; Michael Browning, CFO of CommonSpirit Health, on the system's $6 billion turnaround plan; and Jayson Laban, vice president and CIO of UTMB, on building an AI blueprint for academic medicine. We also hear from pharmacy leaders including Onisis Stefas, Denise Scarpelli and Todd Karpinski on translating pharmacy priorities for the C-suite, and from Paul Chausse Jr. and Paul LePage on how revenue cycle leadership is evolving beyond the technology itself. We are honored to share these voices — and even more excited to welcome many of these leaders to the stage at Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: e Future of AI & Digital Health, September 14-17, at the Hilton Chicago. With 515+ speakers and 2,500+ attendees, this meeting offers a powerful forum for discussion, connection and forward momentum. We look forward to seeing you there and to continuing to support your work with content and programming that reflects what matters most to you. Very truly yours, Scott Becker Founder, Becker's Healthcare PUBLISHER'S LETTER
