The 9th Annual World Health Care Congress

Health care is proving to be a central issue in the Presidential race and the future of health reform rests on the outcome of the 2012 elections and is leaving uncertainty among the major industry stakeholders. But, our Nation’s health care system remains broken and we cannot afford to wait for policy to repeal reform or decide to move forward with 2014 implementation. The 9th Annual World Health Care Congress focuses on what we can do as an industry now, to fix health care.

The theme of the 2012 focuses on the intersection of strategy, innovation and execution and will bring together an agenda of multi-disciplinary CEO panels from health systems, health plans, purchasers, state policy and government and offers the opportunity collaborate from health care’s major markets through 3 days of:

13 General Sessions
