Innovation in the Age of Reform

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2010 Swedish Health Care Symposium, Innovation in the Age of Reform: Redesigning Health-Care Delivery. Whether you’re a business leader challenged with the rising cost of an employee health plan, a member of a health-related advocacy group, or a physician on the front lines of medicine, we all play a role in shaping the future of health care in our community. Dozens of the nation’s leading thinkers in health care gathered in Seattle for two-days of thought-provoking discussion. Hear what they had to say about one of the most pressing issues facing our country today: watch videos of the event and continue to tweet your thoughts to #Swedish100 on Twitter.
