Panels
The Long-Term Future of Health Care
Twenty years ago, health care was a very different field compared to today. In another 20 years, it will likely change as dramatically. In this day of near term concerns, it is rare that we discuss long term visions for the health care industry. During this panel, we will do exactly that. We will have a thought-provoking discussion of the future of health in the very long term. What innovations, changes, and challenges will be pressing a generation from now?
