WFEA’s Monthly Roundtable: The Effect of NH Hospital Consolidations.

This month, we are joined by a stellar panel of experts from the Better Solutions for Healthcare Coalition. We discussed the need to reshape the NH-national narrative surrounding healthcare, how to raise awareness of the driving forces behind out-of-control healthcare costs and access, and how we need to influence legislatures to support market-based solutions.

Panelist:
Shawn Gremminger, President & CEO, National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions (*Not Pictured*)
Kevin St. James, Exeter Firefighter & AEMT
Representative Erica Layon, Vice Chair of the Executive Departments and Administration
Lucy Hodder, Professor and Director of the Health and Life Sciences Law and Policy – UNH Franklin Pierce School
Andy Lowe, Executive Director, New England Rural Health Association
