June 17, 2025- Healthcare cybersecurity threats are escalating at an alarming rate, putting patient safety, sensitive data and critical systems at risk, according to Premier. To support informed policymaking, healthcare cybersecurity experts convened on Capitol Hill to highlight industry efforts, regulatory challenges and opportunities for collaboration. The discussion reinforced the shared responsibility between Congress, the Administration and the private sector to strengthen system resilience and protect patients.
In partnership with Premier’s advocacy office in Washington DC, Premier recently joined cybersecurity leaders from Baxter, Mount Sinai Health System, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association and Johnson & Johnson at a Capitol Hill briefing hosted by the Healthcare Leadership Council. The company told lawmakers something you already know: healthcare needs new partnerships to keep our systems secure from evolving cyber threats.
