tPF to attend 2011 Health Care NY Show and Conference

So that we continue to be well-versed in all client issues vis a vis changes in the health care landscape, tPF will be attending the 7th Annual New York Health Care Conference, which will showcase emerging health care benefits and health care technology. The conference is being held at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC on March 7, 2011.

The keynote speaker will be Patrick Kennedy, former U.S. Congressman from Rhode Island, who will talk about US health care reform and mental health. In addition, we are looking forward to learning about the 2010 Mercer Survey of Employer-sponsored Health Plans, which will explore what employers are doing on both Health Management and Health Care Reform in 2011.

Stay tuned for a tPF report on the New York Health Care Conference.

In addition to touring the exhibit halls and hearing what the vendors had to say, tPF had the opportunity to sit in on two general sessions presented by Patrick Kennedy (former Rhode Island Congressman) and David Tinkelman (MD/wellness expert at National Jewish Health, Denver, CO).
