Is America’s healthcare crisis about to hit a breaking point?
Soaring healthcare costs, cuts to community services, workforce shortages and ping-ponging federal policy, are all worsening a crisis in US healthcare. The result: more Americans are struggling with affordability, access and the quality of care than ever before.
To address these challenges, Semafor, in partnership with West Health and Gallup, will bring together leading voices in healthcare for a series of in-depth discussions on the healthcare experience in the United States.
The forum will illuminate how Americans are navigating the health care system today and offer potential practice and policy solutions that could transform healthcare in America.
