The event will have three components. Kicking off the morning, Christie Hager, US Health and Human Services director for Region 1, will address the future of the Affordable Care Act and how it will affect businesses moving forward.
Following Hager, Steve Norton, executive director of the NH Center for Public Policy Studies will provide an update on the state of health care in New Hampshire.
The final hour will include a panel discussion, moderated by Norton, of what businesses can do to control health care costs and manage employee health and wellness. Panelists include N. Lee Rucker, senior strategic policy advisor for the AARP Public Policy Institute in Washington, D.C.; Beth Roberts, vice president, northern New England for Harvard Pilgrim Health Care; Barbara Couch, VP, Hypertherm; John R. Butterly, MD, FACP, FACC, executive VP of Medical Affairs at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health and two more still-to-be-determined representatives of the general business community.
