Duke MBA Annual Health Care Conference

Across the U.S., organizations and communities are grappling with increases in the cost of health care. Employers are concerned about their employees' health care costs. Health care providers are experimenting with new modes of care delivery that could help drive down cost. Some patients are rationing their medication and delaying treatment to reduce their out-of-pocket spending. Inequities in access to primary care increase the incidences of catastrophic care, especially among low-income communities. Compared to other developed economies, the U.S. leads in health care spending but falls squarely in the middle in health care outcomes. At the same time, emerging economies, faced with a population boom and a rising middle class, are urgently investing in modern health care systems.

At the 2019 Health Care Conference, we will discuss how various entities are tackling the rise in health care costs. We will have keynote speakers, panels, and ample networking opportunities during breakfast, lunch, and a closing reception.

The Conference is a full-day event that will be held at the JB Duke Hotel in Durham, North Carolina on November 6, 2019 for 200 expected attendees from Fuqua, Duke University, nearby academic and healthcare institutions, and healthcare companies in the Triangle.
