Healthcare costs are squeezing employer margins, and small and midsize employers aren’t waiting for another renewal to act. They’re rethinking how they fund healthcare, manage costs, and partner with advisors.

Join us for an inside look at findings from ParetoHealth’s 2026 State of Healthcare Spend report, based on a national survey of more than 1,500 CEOs and senior HR and finance leaders. Hear what’s driving today’s biggest cost pressures, why employers are changing course, and what it means for the future of employer-sponsored healthcare.

You’ll learn:

  • What 1,500+ employers reveal about healthcare costs and benefits strategy
  • The clinical drivers behind rising healthcare spend from cancer and MSK to specialty pharmacy and mental health
  • What employers and advisors should do next to improve cost predictability and long-term outcomes
