Health care is big business and is getting bigger. In recent years, health care mergers and acquisitions have ramped up, more corporate entities have entered the market, and maximizing profit has risen as a priority for many health care systems.
Join Georgetown’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) for a three-part webinar series examining the corporate transformation of health care.
Participants will learn:
- How rapid corporatization is impacting providers, patients, and communities.
- What is driving the increase of private equity ownership, consolidation, and profit-driven strategies in health care.
- How policymakers can stop abusive practices, protect consumers, and preserve competition in their local healthcare markets.
Every other Friday at 1:00pm ET from January 31-February 28, 2025. Attend when you can!
Moderated by Sabrina Corlette, Founder and Co-Director, CHIR, each installment will invite leading experts to explore a different facet of the corporate transformation of health care. Audience Q&A will follow each discussion.
