Population Health Colloquium--MARCH 2011

As the nation comes to grip with all the implications of Health Reform, and a renewed interest in work site wellness, prevention, care coordination and value based purchasing, the School of Population Health is presenting a forum to explore all of these issues. The Population Health Colloquium is a three day event co-located with two sister conferences on the Medical Home and Palliative Care set for March 13, 14, 15 and 16 in Philadelphia. Our School will also be conducting a pre conference work shop on the fundamentals of Population Health with lectures by four of our leading faculty members. Our special Sunday night March 13th "Book Event" is a great opportunity to meet more than half a dozen nationally prominent authors who will discuss their recent books, sign copies, and take questions from the audience about their work in health care. Our kick off speaker, Dr Nancy Snyderman, is the Chief Medical Correspondent for NBC National News and herself, an expert on care coordination, patient empowerment, and prevention. I am hoping to see scores of readers at our Colloquium and look forward to the ensuing dialogue. For more information go to www.populationhealthcolloquium.com. See you then!!
