In this episode of Sg2 Perspectives, host Tori Richie is joined by Sg2 experts Joshua Aaker and Katherine Zentner to explore how demographic shifts, particularly an aging population, are shaping cardiovascular and neurosciences service line demand. Drawing on insights from the 2025 Impact of Change® forecast, the discussion highlights care stratification, team-based models, and new approaches to programmatic design that health systems are using to address growing utilization and acuity. The conversation also underscores how traditional service line models must evolve to meet both current pressures and future patient needs.
