Mark McClellan, MD, PhD

Join us during General Session on Friday, July 31 as Mark McClellan discusses where community pharmacy, long-term care pharmacy and community providers have opportunities to transform the healthcare landscape. 

Driving the Conversation:
A Look at the Future of Health Care in America

The state of healthcare and the ongoing implementation of the Affordable Care Act have the U.S. at a unique crossroad.

As research breakthroughs result in potential cures and better treatments, patients and health professionals are frustrated by bureaucracy and other factors that drive up the costs and availability of beneficial health care even as policymakers have tried to address many of these long-standing issues.

Drawing on his experience as Administrator and his ongoing experience in advising national and state leaders, Dr McClellan reviews key issues in current Federal and state health care programs, what’s working, what's not working, and all the trends in the U.S. health care system, explaining how these trends can potentially transform the health care landscape.
