RegisterConference Overview
The 2026 Minnesota State of Reform Health Policy Conference will be taking place in-person on September 30th, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Bloomington – Minneapolis!
Managing constant change in healthcare takes more than just hard work. It takes a solid understanding of the legislative process and knowledge about intricacies of the healthcare system. That’s where State of Reform comes in.
State of Reform pulls together practitioners, thought leaders, and policymakers – each working to improve the healthcare system in their own way – into a unified conversation in a single place. It is sure to be one of the most diverse statewide gatherings of senior healthcare leaders, and one of the most important events in Minnesota healthcare.
Join the conversation with other healthcare executives, and help shape reform on September 30th, 2026! If you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a line!
