Health Reform Conference | Drexel University Kline School of Law

Health care fuels Philadelphia’s economy. From hospitals, to pharmaceutical companies, to medical schools, to prestigious medical societies, the industry’s influence pervades the region. As a result, few areas in the United States will feel the effects of health reform more directly.

How do those in the trenches of health care see the changes ahead? How will health reform affect their jobs, their organizations, and the region overall? This conference brings together health care leaders from across the industry to share perspectives. It will offer a unique opportunity to explore the changing shape of health care in Philadelphia as the new law takes effect.

There is no cost to attend the conference. Optional Continuing Legal Education credits (4 substantive, 1 ethics) are available for $75.
