On January 13, the Chicago/Midwest chapter of the Turnaround Management Association will host “The Prognosis for Healthcare.” The program will take place at the Standard Club, 320 S. Plymouth Court, and begin with a continental breakfast at 7:30 am.
A panel of four experts will provide their insights and outlook on distressed investing, turnarounds and regulatory challenges as they pertain to the healthcare industry. Included in the discussion will be how the Affordable Care Act, other reforms, changes to Medicare reimbursements and regulations will affect providers, including the challenges and opportunities these create.
“As the healthcare industry undergoes unprecedented transformation, restructuring professionals are uniquely positioned to make a lasting impact on the shape of healthcare providers,” says Carl Lane, Willow Tree Consulting Group and president of TMA Chicago/Midwest. “We look forward to hearing our panel’s insights and advice on how to compete in the healthcare market.”
