WHAT

The Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Healthcare Summit will bring together leaders across the federal health landscape, representing the Department of Health and Human Services, the Defense Health Agency and Veterans Health Administration and more. While HHS is turning its $2.58 trillion budget toward the Making America Healthy Again initiative, DHA is prioritizing increased readiness and expanding healthcare to the warfighter, and VHA is enhancing access and quality of health services to American veterans. The agencies have made historic investments recently, such as the $50 billion CMS expansion of rural healthcare and $14 billion for integrated healthcare transformation at VHA. 

The 2026 Healthcare Summit is the most optimal forum to learn about each agency’s unique contracting priorities in FY27. Find out how the major federal health agencies plan to acquire and utilize digital tools and AI, enhance data privacy, expand access to care, and drive modernization in exclusive panels and Q&A sessions with senior leaders.
