The Affordability Challenge

Health care costs keep rising, yet better outcomes and greater value don’t always follow.

For many West Michigan employers, health care is one of their largest and fastest-growing expenses. At the same time, offering quality health coverage remains important for attracting and retaining talent. So, where do we go from here?

The Grand Rapids Chamber’s Health Care Summit will put employers at the center of the conversation, bringing together business leaders, health care providers, and insurers to take a closer look at what’s driving costs and what can be done about it.

What to expect:

The numbers behind the trends: Get a clearer picture of what’s happening with workplace benefits, what employers are paying, and where health care dollars are being spent.
The employer perspective: Hear directly from West Michigan employers about the choices they’re making as costs rise, what’s working, and where they’re struggling to find solutions.
A candid conversation about cost and value: Hear directly from health care and policy leaders about what’s driving costs, what they’re doing to address them, and where they see opportunities to improve care while making it more affordable.

This Summit is about moving beyond the question of why health care costs so much and focusing on what can be done about it. The goal: better outcomes, better value, and a more affordable health care system for West Michigan employers and employees.
