About

Formed in the summer of 2010 by the Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) — a coalition of chief executives representing all sectors of American healthcare — the National Dialogue for Healthcare Innovation (NDHI) is a forum where leaders from government, academia, industry, payers, providers, societies and patient and consumer organizations work toward consensus on the most important issues affecting healthcare innovation, and ultimately, patient care.

Co-chaired by David Barrett, M.D., CEO Emeritus of the Lahey Clinic, and Bill Hawkins, Chairman and CEO Emeritus of Medtronic, NDHI brings together a broad spectrum of leaders and organizations involved in healthcare delivery and policy for candid, transparent discussions of medical innovation in the United States, its importance and the opportunities and challenges affecting its progress.
