VITAL2026 Late-Breaking Call for Abstracts
Conference Dates: Wednesday, June 10 - Friday, June 12, 2026

VITAL2026, America’s Essential Hospitals annual conference, will focus on our member hospitals and others who serve low socioeconomical populations. Attendees will join us June 10 – 12 at the Royal Sonesta Minneapolis Downtown hotel. This premier event features invited speakers and selected concurrent learning sessions. Because we recognize health care innovations can develop in a short time frame in response to current and highly sensitive emerging issues, we are opening a second call for abstracts to capture these “late-breaking programs” as we approach VITAL2026. In addition to demonstrating innovations, these programs should show leadership commitment and have an immediate impact on the workforce, patients, or community.
