We believe in the power of membership.
Gist Healthcare’s members are leading health systems, physician groups and other organizations who are committed to building a new approach to healthcare delivery, based on creating greater value for the communities they serve. As members, leaders work together each year to share learning, build capabilities, and create innovations that make healthcare more accessible, affordable, reliable and personal.
We’ve built our membership model around three critical concepts:
We know healthcare and will push your strategy
We know your organization
You can trust us
Adopting a New Lens on Strategy
Future success requires adopting a “consumer value” lens on key elements of health system strategy. We partner with our members to help them create strategies that will prepare them for success in a consumer-driven healthcare environment.
How We Serve Our Members

Direction and Alignment
Our point of view: The direction of change is clear, but the timing and sequencing of transformation will be different within and across health systems and provider organizations.

Innovation and acceleration
