Opening Keynote and Q & A with Dr. Karen DeSalvo
While the keynote address is a staple at healthcare conferences and forums, our 29th Annual Forum adds a unique twist to the typical keynote address: immediately following her keynote address while lunch is being served, Dr. Karen DeSalvo and forum attendees will engage in a round-table, Q & A session discussing and debating current opportunities, challenges and issues facing the healthcare executives and leaders attending the forum.

HCEG Board Chair Ferris Taylor identifies why the HCEG Annual Forum is not your typical healthcare gathering in this blog post on LinkedIn.
