From policy to patients and everything in-between, the health care industry is constantly evolving. Check out this discussion with Eric Tower and Robert Friesen regarding the shifts in society to understand where health care is headed. Robert addresses population health across the world and the United States and what changes he believes would bring significant improvements. Note: This event was hosted in Chicago on September 29, 2022, by the Thompson Coburn Health Care Group.

Here are some highlights from Robert's presentation:
