While the new year often feels like a time to reset and regroup, 2025 has started off in a sprint. As pressures continue to grow across all sectors of the industry, it’s no secret that leaders need to think and act differently in order to succeed in the new year. With so many swirling changes, it can be hard to sort through the most important topics, trends, and perspectives to focus on. That’s where Advisory Board—and Radio Advisory—come in.

This week’s conversation is the first of a two-part series that digs into what healthcare leaders need to have on their radar in 2025. Host Abby Burns invites Advisory Board experts Natalie Trebes and Max Hakanson to break down what Medicare Advantage breakups, untenable drug costs, and evolving cyber threats signal about changing power dynamics across the healthcare industry.

Stay tuned for part 2 of the conversation next week, where we’ll cover the state of health systems and, of course, what we expect to see in the policy landscape this year.
