Breakfast forum underway
What’s next? A jointly sponsored breakfast forum with Oregon Business Magazine that’s taking a deep dive into how the coordinated care model could transform the delivery of care in the private marketplace.
We’ve assembled a team of experts that include Tami Graham, director of global benefits strategy at Intel and Sean Jessup, director of Medicaid programs at Moda Health.
Also appearing on stage will be Lynne Saxton, director of the Oregon Healthj Authority; Dr. Craig Fausel, CEO and president of The Oregon Clinic and Janet Meyer, CEO of Health Share of Oregon.
Register today. And, if you’re interested in sponsorship opportunities, contact Janet Grubel, our development director at [email protected]
This event, to be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club, gets underway December 3rd at 7 a.m.
Our panel of thought leaders will look into these compelling questions:
- Should employers follow the lead of the Medicaid coordinated care organizations by transforming health care?
- Which insurers are likely to draw the majority of small employers on the exchange? Will tax credits entice employers to purchase coverage?
- How are physicians shifting their practices to respond to this changing model?
- What strategies and solutions can help you reduce costs and improve the quality of health care for your employees?
