Healthcare Consumerism: Growth Drivers, Restraints, and Trends w/ Brent Wright, Howard Rosen & Jeffrey Carlisle

There are many trends out there that play key roles in how healthcare consumerism might experience growth or restraint. Understanding how they all work together is a bit of a challenge, but it’s one we’re talking through in this week’s panel discussion.
