Chip Kahn has shared plans for future endeavors following his retirement as president and CEO of the Federation of American Hospitals at the end of 2025, an organization he led for 24 years.
Mr. Kahn will join the American Enterprise Institute as a visiting senior fellow Feb. 25, where he’ll address critical healthcare finance and delivery issues, like cost growth, quality and safety, and the future of Medicare and Medicaid, he said in a Jan. 5 release shared with Becker’s.
He will also serve as a senior visiting fellow at KFF, and will launch a podcast called “KFF on the Business of Health Care with Chip Kahn” in the spring, which will explore healthcare delivery in America.
“Here’s to 2026,” he said. “For me, that means a new focus — more writing and thinking, a podcast microphone instead of policy memos — and a continued commitment to engaging on the healthcare issues that matter most.”
At Becker's 4th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, taking place November 2–5 in Chicago, more than 1,500 hospital and health system executives tackle decisions that determine whether organizations thrive or merely survive: protecting margins under cost pressure, choosing where to grow, renegotiating payer relationships, stabilizing the workforce and proving real ROI on technology. This is where leaders work through them together, face-to-face. Apply for complimentary registration now.
