Chris Holman speaks with Bob Riney, from Media Row, at the Grand Hotel, while at the 2026 Mackinac Policy Conference. Chris Holman of the Michigan Business Network interviews Bob Riney, CEO of Henry Ford Health, at the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce's Mackinac Policy Conference at the Grand Hotel. Riney, serving as chair of the conference, chose the theme "A Quest for Common Ground," emphasizing the need for civil dialogue in Michigan's politically divided landscape. He highlighted the strong clinical quality of healthcare in Michigan while noting ongoing efforts to integrate technology, reduce costs, and shift the industry's focus from reactive treatment to preventative, personalized care. Riney also addressed the challenge of attracting and retaining healthcare talent in Michigan, stressing the need to better "sell" the state to young professionals. On the policy front, he cautioned against knee-jerk cuts to healthcare payments, instead advocating for coordinated conversations among insurers, policymakers, and healthcare providers to improve the system holistically. » Visit MBN website: http://www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Watch MBN’s YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: http://www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: http://twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/
