Tickets still available for Health Care Reform Forum

Health care reform is a reality, and the new world for business begins this year. To help prepare companies for these new rules and regulations, Business Report is hosting a Health Care Reform Forum on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. The forum will explore how employers, employees and bottom lines will be impacted by new health care legislation. Forum panelists will include: Andy Impastato, vice president, client compliance, BancorpSouth Insurance Services/Wright & Percy; Michael Bertaut, health care economist/exchange coordinator, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana; Dr. Stephanie Mills, president & CEO of Franciscan Health and Wellness, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System; William Potter, senior tax director, Postlethwaite & Netterville; and Patrick Seiter, chair of the health care practice team, Taylor Porter law firm. Following the forum, there will be two breakout sessions that explore how the legislation will impact employers with 50 or more employees, one that looks at the impact on firms with fewer than 50 employees, and a session that looks at innovative solutions to reduce health care spending and improve employee health. The event will begin at 7:30 a.m., with the forum running from 8 to 9:15 a.m. and the breakout sessions beginning at 9:30 a.m. For more information or to purchase tickets, click here.
