HOST: RHONDA BROOKS 📍 Healthcare Policy & Advocacy --- Anika Shah The American Hospital Association announced that President and CEO Rick Pollack will retire at the end of 2026 after 43 years with the organization and nearly a decade in the top job. The board has launched a national search, and Pollack will serve as president and CEO emeritus during the transition. 📍 Finance & Capital --- Logan Stokes Boston Children's Hospital received a record $100M gift from philanthropists Rob and Karen Hale to help anchor a roughly $650M pediatric behavioral health hospital on the Franciscan Children's campus in Brighton. The funding will expand inpatient and outpatient services, build out research and training, and support a 23-hospital collaborative focused on pediatric mental health. 📍 Strategy & Transformation --- Teresa Vaughn Governor Kathy Hochul's office confirmed the design phase is kicking off for a $1.1B plan to modernize SUNY Downstate's hospital and build a new annex facility in Brooklyn. Funding will be drawn from two consecutive state budgets, aiming to stabilize and reposition Downstate as a modern anchor for central Brooklyn after past attempts to downsize faced community pushback. 📍 Finance & Capital --- Logan Stokes Community Health Systems confirmed Kevin Hammons as permanent CEO and Jason Johnson as permanent CFO after both served in interim roles since October. Hammons has been closely associated with Project Empower, an ERP modernization CHS expects will generate up to $60M in savings in 2025, while the company continues divesting underperforming hospitals. 📍 AI & Machine Learning --- Jade Romero Artera raised $65M to build out autonomous AI agents for patient communication that handle scheduling, rescheduling, intake, and billing questions. The company says 94% of patient conversations are now completed without staff intervention, translating into roughly 250,000 hours of staff time saved annually for clients. .📍 Digital Health --- Nate Collier Sleep Sense uses on-device AI to analyze motion, light, and phone usage patterns overnight, turning smartphones into sleep trackers without wearables. The pitch is nearly 100% population coverage without extra hardware, subscriptions, or data leaving the device unnecessarily. 📍 AI & IT Round-Up --- Rhonda Brooks Sword Health launched MindEval, a multi-turn benchmark testing large language models through realistic mental health conversations, with early scores showing even top models struggling with severe cases. A new State of Enterprise AI report shows healthcare among the fastest-moving sectors for putting AI into daily workflows.
