Hotel in Hollywood, we are sponsoring an educational SFHHA Board of Director.
program entitled, “Pricing Transparency and Strategy”.
This program is intended to provide interactive discussion on the issue of pricing
transparency in healthcare. Pricing has become a favorite topic of both our state and
national leaders. To hear them tell it, it is as easy as posting a menu at a local fast-food
restaurant! We have a great group of presenters, moderators, and speakers. As an
additional bonus, Donna Shalala will provide our closing keynote, where she will
attempt to bring together the day’s discussions and will also talk about the next steps
in the road to transparency.
Then on September 12 at the Signature Grand, we will be hosting a full day pro-
gram that will look at the future of healthcare and market disruption/innovation.
Our SFHHA calendar for summer, fall and winter is now available on our website
(www.sfhha.com), so please take a few minutes and see what other events we have
scheduled for the remainder of 2018.
