The 2nd Annual Consumer-Centric Healthcare Congress is uniquely designed to address the opportunities and challenges of the convergence of consumerism and healthcare. This exclusive event convenes all employer, payer and provider leaders to define best practices for consumer engagement, decision-making, and cost sharing. The program debates the short and long term impact of establishing a free market-driven healthcare system as the platform in order to create a footprint for the next generation of health benefits.
