Q3 2012

A Message from Keith Pearson, Vice Chairman & President

If there is one hot political topic that affects every individual in this country, it’s healthcare. Most people agree that America’s current healthcare system is less than ideal, but proposed solutions are as many and varied as the politicians that espouse them. The roots of the healthcare crisis run deep, and whatever is decided during the upcoming elections, we’ll still be a long way away from solving this complex situation. At our recent Spotlight Series Breakfast event, we invited four top healthcare industry insiders to share their observations about the current and future state of healthcare. The result was an honest and insightful look at the business side of medicine, and how it affects businesses in other industries. Read the highlights of the discussion in this issue of Searchlight.
