Dr. Marilyn Moon to lead conversation on health care and policy
The Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce has set the agenda for the annual Health Care In Your Future Summit beginning at 7 a.m. on April 4, at the Embassy Suites, 4705 Clydesdale Parkway in Loveland. Dr. Marilyn Moon, fellow with the American Institutes for Research (AIR), has been selected as the keynote speaker and will discuss health care and the outlook on health policy
According to AIR, Dr. Moon, a nationally-known economist, has focused on informing consumers, providers and policy makers about aging and health care issues, issues in delivery system innovations, and approaches to Medicare and Social Security reform. Additionally, she has served at the Urban Institute and was a trustee for the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. During her career, Dr. Moon was an associate professor of economics at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, a senior analyst at the Congressional Budget Office, and the founding director of the Public Policy Institute of the American Association of Retired Persons.
“Dr. Moon’s expertise, accomplishments and guidance in the health care industry certainly makes her an outstanding leader in the field. We are excited to have her speak at the Health Care Summit,” said Ann Hutchison, Executive Vice President at Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce.
Along with Dr. Moon, the agenda for the Health Care Summit will include other recognized speakers and presentations on developments in health care, an outlook on the health care industry in the region, and actions that could strengthen the local health care sector. The full agenda can be found below or by visiting: http://nocohealthcaresummit.com/agenda/.
The Summit, now in its seventh year, will provide members of the business community with the opportunity to learn about changes in the health care industry and how it will impact their companies, employees, and families. It is being underwritten by area businesses that participated in the Moving Fort Collins Forward! campaign last fall.
