Kicked off 2026 in San Francisco with Leadership Institute during #JPMHC26. The conversations around AI, drug pricing, and the future of value-based care were exactly the right way to set the tone for the year ahead. A must-attend for any serious healthcare leader. Becky Harrington always brings together a thoughtful crowd! @rharringtonSF

Wonderful time helping teach class at @Georgetown with @McCourtSchool students digging into the real-world mechanics of federal health policy along with professor Margaret Weichert. Good to remember old times! And the thoughtfulness in that room gives me confidence about where healthcare leadership is headed. Thank you for having me. @margaretweicher #HealthPolicy #Georgetown

Got back from a Board meeting at @UHhospitals. Always a privilege to sit at the table with the extraordinary leadership team. The work being done by University Hospitals across Northeast Ohio in clinical care, research, and community health is a constant source of inspiration. Proud to serve on this Board. #UniversityHospitals

Thoroughly enjoyed returning to @kenanflagler as a guest lecturer last month. Discussing the intersection of federal policy, regulation, and business strategy with MBA students is very rewarding. The questions they asked were outstanding. Thanks to Professor @DrBrian4Health for the opportunity, and the introduction to @nealsdeli and @merrittsgrill!

[Eric Hargan @EricDHargan]

Great meeting today with the @kenanflagler Industry Advisory Board alongside the always-sharp @DrBrian4Health. Many, many promising technologies and enterprises are being developed at this joint UNC-NC State program. The future of healthcare policy is being shaped by the next generation of leaders coming out of this program. Proud to be part of this work and lend what advice I can to these up-and-coming researchers and technologists at Lampe Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering. @jointbme @NCState @unc #HealthcareLeadership

I had incredible day at @CampPendleton attending the @USMC's 250th birthday celebration. Watching the amphibious demonstration with thousands of Marines, veterans, and their families gave me a better understanding of what these warriors do for our country. Hearing from an impressive group of leaders, including Vice President Vance and Secretary Hegseth, was great. A sunny day in Southern California to celebrate 250 years of service and sacrifice. Happy Birthday, Marines. 🇺🇸#USMC250

We kicked off today's Member Meeting with a Q&A with former HHS Deputy Secretary and Hargan Group Founder @EricDHargan.

Thank you Deputy Secretary Hargan for helping us launch our meeting with an insightful conversation about the evolving health policy landscape.

[Eric Hargan @EricDHargan]

Yesterday, I joined @SarahLloydS at #ATAEDGE for a deep dive into "Shaping Health Policy in a Trump Transition." Discussed regulatory priorities, Senate confirmations, and key health agendas like telehealth and reimbursement. Exciting insights on the future of US healthcare policy! @AmericanTelemed

[Eric Hargan @EricDHargan]

Earlier this week at #CTeLDigitalHealthSummit, I shared with attendees a vision for a healthcare sector where patients drive their own health with RPM & RTM. With AI & health policy changes on the horizon, the new Administration and GOP leadership could be key for innovation. @CTeLTweets

I was cleaning out my office and I found these bracelets, which were given to us every day at HHS when we went in to the office during the pandemic. These go back from early 2020 to early 2021. My wife had me keep them for her to make a collage.

To help end the opioid crisis, we need to shift away from the "harm reduction" approach we are on and focus on investing in commonsense solutions like real treatment and prevention. Check out my latest op-ed in @FoxNews. https://t.co/1qYqZpDMIi
