State of Reform Policy Conference – Alaska 2011

AGENDA

The State of Reform Conference is broken into three distinct tracks, with general and breakout sessions that cross the spectrum of policy topics.

Track 1: Impacts of the Federal Bill: How will federal reform work in Alaska? What changes will we see?
Track 2: Addressing Alaska’s Challenges: What strategies are underway for our home-grown challenges? What are our health care leaders working on?
Track 3: Where Politics Meets Policy: What can we expect from our political leaders moving forward? What is the content of the policy debates?

CONVENING PANEL

The first step in building a successful policy conference is finding the right people to sit around the table to help us think it through. Alaska is at the same time tremendously diverse when it comes to Alaskan health care, and tremendously unique when compared to other US states. Getting the right minds at the table is important, and we’re honored to be working with this esteemed group of health care and policy leaders.
