Thoughts on “Marketing Healthcare under a New Administration”

Richard Laurence Baron blogged about the recent AMA Houston Healthcare Marketing SIG event:

The four speakers who addressed “Marketing Healthcare under a New Administration” were effective and humorous. Passionate. Completely engaged with almost 100 attendees. Each one lit up a different facet of the American healthcare system in crisis.
