As a health system leader, you are under pressure to improve access to behavioral health services, drive revenue while keeping costs down, and meet rising demand with limited resources and limited beds.
Fragmented referral pathways, provider shortages, reimbursement rates, and administrative burden only make that mission harder.
BHT2025 brings together health system executives navigating these same pressures. You’ll hear how peers are improving care coordination, driving innovation, and building sustainable strategies. Alongside them, you’ll engage with health plans, innovators, government leaders, and investors who are equally focused on strengthening the behavioral health ecosystem.

Why Health Systems Choose BHT
“I’ve been to the conference the past two years and it’s phenomenal. Going to other conferences that are healthcare focused, behavioral health feels like an afterthought or a talking point versus a focus. At BHT, I know I have a place that’s behavioral health focused, and it’s been a positive experience for me. I only have amazing things to say.”
- Evan Strother, VP of Strategy and Innovation at Acadia Healthcare
