Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association Presents:
We All Use Healthcare, But Do We Really Know Healthcare?
On February 21, 2013, Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the Turnaround Management Association announced their upcoming event “We All Use Healthcare, But Do We Really Know Healthcare?”
Healthcare reform, often referred to as “Obamacare”, is well underway, but uncertainties still abound regarding how it will impact the future of the healthcare industry and other businesses.
A panel of experts will present their insights and perspectives on the future of healthcare, related technology trends, investment trends, business opportunities and the potential pitfalls that should be avoided.
“Healthcare affects all of us professionally and personally,” says Kevin A. Krakora, Chicago/Midwest TMA president. “The full impact of the changes and healthcare reform is yet to be determined, but it will inevitably affect all businesses both small and large. Our panelists are experts on current healthcare issues and will provide guidance on how business executives, advisors and investors can position themselves to take advantage of opportunities while avoiding potential drawbacks.”
