Upcoming Events
UPMC vs. Highmark: Where Do We Go From Here?
DATE/TIME/LOCATION
8:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast
8:30 – 10:30 a.m. Program / Q & A
If you live in Western Pennsylvania, the topic of health care is certainly on your mind. How will the UPMC – Highmark dispute affect your business, your employees, and you personally? How did the dispute come about in the first place? Where does it stand today? What will the impact be if the two healthcare giants fail to come to terms? How do we all prepare for that possibility? Can the government step in, and will they?
Join WPDI on Wednesday, January 11, 2012, as Representative Dan Frankel and Elliot Dinkin, President & CEO of Cowden Associates, Inc. provide a comprehensive overview of the UPMC – Highmark situation. This is more than a contract renewal issue. We will look at the healthcare system structure and how that has contributed to the current status. They will also discuss disruption in the marketplace and issues of access as well as answer any questions you may have.
Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve and learn what you can do to prepare!
