Adrienne Moore, Senior Vice President of Finance at Banner Health

Banner Health's Senior Vice President of Finance, Adrienne Moore, discusses key trends and strategic initiatives for the healthcare system. Moore expresses concern over potential Medicaid funding changes and ACA subsidy impacts, projecting millions could lose coverage by 2034, leading to deferred care and overcrowded emergency departments. She highlights the $50 billion rural fund as a possible mitigator, emphasizing workforce sustainability, technology investments (telehealth, AI), and urban-rural partnerships to extend specialty care access. Moore is excited about Banner's workforce investments, training a significant portion of Arizona's nurses and physicians, and the system's AI strategy, including generative AI for business areas and AI augmentation to multiply workforce capabilities. Banner aims for growth across the care continuum, focusing on sustainable investments and its integrated delivery network model.
