ASL Co-Presents Health Care Law Symposium

09/22/14, 8:00am
Monarch Auditorium at Bristol Regional Medical Center


ASL, in collaboration with Wellmont Health System and the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at UVA, will present a symposium that will deliberate the maze of legal and practical issues of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), one of the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. and this region today. 

"The Future of Health Care: Moving From Policy to Implementation" will be the subject of great debate and discourse among nineteen distinguished panelists Monday, September 22, 2014 in the Monarch Auditorium at Bristol Regional Medical Center in Bristol, Tenn.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Marilyn Tavenner will deliver a keynote address, along with two others. Also speaking will be Thomas P. Miller, Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and co-author of "Why Obamacare is Wrong for America," and Dr. Bill Hazel, Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources.

Four panels will focus on various aspects of the ACA: its impact on businesses and employers, health care innovations, the status of state health care exchanges in Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia, and how we move from ACA policy to implementation.

The one-day Symposium is the result of a months-long collaboration between the Appalachian School of Law (ASL),Wellmont Health System, and the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at UVA.

CLE Credit (6.0 hours) has been approved in Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
