HealthTrust’s largest gathering exclusively for Healthcare Construction, Facilities and Energy professionals— HealthTrust Connect 2025—brought together more than 400 members, staff, suppliers and trade partners for two days of education, networking and solution-focused discussions. The aptly named event served as a hub for connections, addressing some of the most pressing challenges in healthcare today—cost containment and technology adoption.
“The conversations at HealthTrust Connect reflect the urgency and opportunity in healthcare today— how we can align strategies to deliver value in these categories,” says Paige Dodson, Senior Director, Construction & Facilities.
In between networking opportunities and sessions, exhibitors showcased their contracted healthcare construction and facilities products, services and solutions to HealthTrust members through an exhibit hall, including:
- Mechanical
- Electrical & Lighting
- Plumbing
- Flooring
- Roofing
- Medical Gases
- Prefabrication
- Water Treatment
Impactful education
Networking and education are at the heart of HealthTrust Connect, with the goal of providing members access to solutions and content they can take back to their organizations and turn into actionable insights. Highlights included:
Water Treatment for the Processing of Medical Devices (ST108): A deep dive into AAMI’s new water quality standard and its implications for sterile processing and patient safety (see article on pg. 36).
Strategic Risk Mitigation for Healthcare: Disaster Preparedness & Restoration: Practical strategies for minimizing operational disruptions and ensuring continuity of care during emergencies.
GENSHIFT: “Exploring Generations in the Workforce” was the keynote delivered by Generational Strategist Dr. Katherine Jeffery. Attendees divided up by generation and learned how those dynamics influence workplace culture, leadership styles and team collaboration— critical insights for any organization managing a diverse workforce.
By combining education, collaboration and innovation, HealthTrust Connect equips leaders with the tools and relationships they need to navigate healthcare’s complex landscape and deliver meaningful improvements in patient care and operational performance.
