Surveying Long Island: Healthcare’s Biggest Challenge Isn’t What You Think | Christopher Nelson

At HIA-LI’s “Surveying the Pulse of Long Island” Summit, Eliud Custodio of Turn One Studio sits down with Christopher Nelson of St. Catherine of Siena Hospital to discuss what the survey signals for 2026 and why healthcare faces a unique set of pressures on Long Island. Christopher shares why many industries are feeling similar cost drivers, inflation, tariffs, and labor, but explains how healthcare adds another layer: regulation, shifting policy, and insurance behaviors that impact revenue cycles. We also talk candidly about the workforce reality behind nursing shortages, including competition for the same talent across hospitals, private practices, ambulatory centers, and schools, plus the long-term impact of COVID-era retirements. A major theme of this conversation is changing the narrative around healthcare costs and understanding the reimbursement gap hospitals face when caring for publicly insured patients. Christopher explains why predictable, regionally indexed Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement matters on Long Island, where the cost of doing business is higher than national averages. In this interview, we cover: —2026 outlook: cautious optimism and shared pressures across industries —Why healthcare is different: regulation, policy shifts, and revenue cycle challenges —Nursing shortages and the competitive labor market for healthcare talent —The impact of COVID retirements and the ramp-up time for newer clinicians —The reimbursement gap and why geographic indexing matters for Long Island hospitals —What changes could most improve healthcare sustainability and access Check out our latest videos:    • Marketing Tips for Small Business   Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/TurnOneStud...
