Welcome to the U.S. News Hospital of Tomorrow Forum

As the editor of U.S. News & World Report, I've been privileged to be part of some extraordinary gatherings of newsmakers and industry leaders on many important subjects. But I can't think of one that is more critical and timely than Hospital of Tomorrow – or one that has brought together a more impressive group of people.
