medent is proud to participate again this year as our Customer Experience and Engagement team hosts a breakout user group session on Saturday, continuing our commitment to supporting independent healthcare providers through collaboration, education and community.
The THRiVE Healthcare Summit has quickly become a valuable forum for providers, practice administrators and healthcare leaders navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of independent medicine. The two-day event brings together industry experts, technology leaders and clinicians to share ideas and practical strategies for improving patient care and operational performance.
Attendees can expect a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions, workshops and networking opportunities designed to address the real-world challenges facing independent practices today. Topics frequently span operational efficiency, patient engagement, emerging technology and leadership within private practice.
The summit begins Friday morning with registration, breakfast and networking followed by a full day focused on practice administration and operations.
Friday highlights include:
1:00-1:40PM: “Patient Communication and AI Tools” featuring Quadrant Health and ThoroughCare Care Management
1:45-2:45PM: “Practice Admin Roadmap to Developing and Managing KPIs”
Saturday shifts the focus to physicians, with sessions designed specifically for clinical leaders. Discussions center on the physician experience, patient care innovation, workflow optimization and the clinical impact of emerging technologies in independent practice.

Events like the THRiVE Healthcare Summit create opportunities for independent practices to connect, share experiences and discover new ways to thrive in an increasingly complex healthcare environment.
“Private practices often don’t have the support of hospital systems,” says Terri Dowd, Executive Director of THRiVE Independent Physicians Association. “That collaboration [at THRiVE] is really phenomenal, especially for physician owners who didn’t go to business school.”
We’re looking forward to another inspiring weekend in Pittsburgh and to connecting with the providers and administrators shaping the future of independent medicine. Secure your spot at THRiVE 2026 here.
