Healthcare reform is changing the way healthcare is delivered and consumed in the United States. There is considerable variation across the country in the cost of healthcare and the treatment options available to patients.

We will explore:
Whether it is true that the United States spends more than any developed country but doesn’t get more for its money.
-How the dynamic between healthcare buyers and sellers has changed post-healthcare reform.
-What strategies are in place or in the pipeline to ensure integrated medical care for individuals with behavioral health disorders.
-We will discuss these and related issues in a moderated panel discussion featuring an expert panel of alumni who are top insiders in the industry. A question-and-answer period will follow the panel discussion.

Panelists:

-Yasmin Hurd ’82, Director of the Center for Addictive Disorders in the Mount Sinai Behavioral Health System and Professor in Psychiatry, Neuroscience and Pharmacology & Systems Therapeutics, Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai

-Elliot Joseph ’76, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hartford HealthCare
Lee Perlman ’80, President, Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) Ventures, Inc.
