Listen to this article“From Crisis To Cure: Revitalizing America’s Healthcare System,” is an invitation-only event that will be held Nov. 8-10 on the campus of Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
“We have invited the greatest minds to participate in a powerful conversation about the future of health in America,” Geisinger President and CEO David T. Feinberg said.
“There are plenty of people talking about what’s not working but it’s time to change that narrative,” Feinberg added. “Geisinger’s history of innovation and our commitment to improving the patient experience served as the impetus for hosting this symposium.”
