A forum this week will explore reforms sweeping the core of American health-care finance and oversight regulation. <\/p>\n
Onslow Memorial Hospitals example reflects a national trend amid dwindling medical reimbursements such as TRICARE, Medicaid and Medicare health-care leaders have told The Daily News. <\/p>\n
The independent nonprofits strains and strategies are among topics slated for Forum Onslow Health Care at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in council chambers at Jacksonville City Hall at 815 New Bridge St. <\/p>\n
The free, public forum is organized by the Jacksonville-Onslow Chamber of Commerce Governmental Affairs Committee. <\/p>\n
Four speakers each will give 15-to-20-minute presentations: Onslow Memorial Hospital Chief Executive Officer Ed Piper; Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune Commanding Officer Capt. Rick Freedman; Brynn Marr Hospital Chief Executive Officer Jay Kortemeyer; and N.C. Hospital Association Vice President Cody Hand, said Janet Bowen, the chambers director of operations. <\/p>\n
Jacksonville attorneys Jason Harris and Christopher Welch will moderate, and the audience will have about 20 minutes to ask questions of the panel. <\/p>\n
Were going to address the issues facing community hospitals, Bowen said. <\/p>\n
Bowen said the forum will last about one-and-a-half hours. <\/p>\n
It has been several years since the chamber held a health-care forum, but the members decided trends in that industry merited another, she said. <\/p>\n
