Valley Partnership has announced the topic for the October 21 breakfast. This month’s panel will discuss the modern healthcare system, including developing and redeveloping new and existing healthcare-related projects.

The healthcare industry can be contentious, with change a constant, but continual reality for providers, patients, and ancillary businesses. The pain points experienced by America’s healthcare system have spurred some to shake up the status quo, disrupting more traditional ways of approaching the healthcare business.

Panelists will be the innovators in healthcare including Dennis Dahlen, Senior Vice president and CFO, Banner Health; Michael Bechtol, director of Care Logistics, Redirect Health; and Dr. John Schufeldt, CEO, MeMD. Julie Johnson with Avison Young will moderate.

“The shifting healthcare landscape is certainly opening up new opportunities for the Valley’s business community,” said Cheryl Lombard, CEO and president of Valley Partnership. “With innovation comes opportunity to leverage technology to fill gaps in care and coverage.”
