With a tight labor market and issues with supply and demand, employers are in a crunch to figure out how to manage their budget and keep their people. This event will include a keynote speaker discussing the current economic climate and its impacts on employers, with recommendations on what employers can do specific to healthcare. A panel of independent healthcare providers will also discuss why they opted to deliver care outside traditional systems, the impact on cost, and why it’s important to them to provide a higher level of care and meet patients where they are. And The Alliance will hold the annual business meeting to discuss how the cooperative performed over the last year and announce the 2022 Healthcare Transformation Award Winners. And don’t forget to join us for lunch and our networking cocktail reception!
