"The Roundtable provides an excellent opportunity for me to engage in useful dialogue with colleagues at other hospitals and health care systems. The format of the meetings encourages timely discussions on issues that are the most important. Also with a stable group of participants who have the opportunity to know and develop trust among themselves, the meetings are conducive to sharing of strategic ideas and to openly discuss challenges. The Roundtable has definitely been a professionally rewarding experience for me.
--Roger J. Deshaies, Sr. VP & CFO, Fletcher Allen Health Care, Burlington, VT, THR/CFO1"Talking with others that have been through what we are heading into is very helpful...Asking questions and clarifying really makes the subjects come home. The potential for future contacts and discussions is great..."
--Dave Larsen, Regional CFO, IHC Hospitals, Salt Lake City, UT, THR/CFO1
“As a multi-year member, the content
and information presented has always had immediate application germaine
to large medical complexes as well as small hospitals spanning
geography from metropoliton cities to rural settings. The experience
shared among those attending exceeds the term 'collaborative'. It is an
engaging two days twice a year that eliminates the need for the variety
of national managed care meetings available.”
--Peter M. Higgins, President, MHG & Physicians Corporation, Gulfport, MS, THR/MCR
“I
find the Roundtable an invaluable tool in keeping a pulse on what is
going on throughout the country as it relates to Managed Care. We
always think we’re on top of things within our department but when the
group gets together I always find things we’ve missed. It’s just a
fabulous resource.”
--Jim Meyers, AVP Managed Care, Norton Healthcare, Louisville, KY, THR/MCR
"In
these lean economic times, our organization significantly cut back on
travel and education seminars, with the exception of the Health Care
Roundtable. The Roundtable has consistently provided a practical forum
on current issues that are identified by its members as important and
timely . The discussion of these key issues with our peers from similar
institutions has been extremely invaluable in helping us think through
how to address these health care challenges at our own institution. It
continues to be a sound investment that consistently pays off with both
strategic and practical advice."
--William Gedge, Sr. Vice President, Yale New Haven Health System, New Haven, CT, THR/MCR
“I'm invited to and attend several conferences and seminars related to healthcare every year, but I never get the knowledge or detailed feedback that I get from attending the Managed Care Healthcare Roundtable. If I only attend the two meetings a year of the THR/MCR, I am up to date and prepared to meet the current and future Managed Care environment. Thanks Heidi and your staff for this great group.”
--Jeff Brownawell, Chief Revenue Officer, Memorial Hermann HealthCare System, Houston, TX, Member THR/MCR
“I would highly recommend The
Healthcare Roundtable for Executives in Human Resources. Not only are
the programs exceptional; but, the networking opportunities are
invaluable. This group openly shares their practices and experiences
with one another. If I were limited to only one membership in Human
Resources, it would definitely be The Healthcare Roundtable.”
--Wanda Pfaff, VPHR, St. Alexius Medical Center, Bismarck, ND
“The
interaction with excellent colleagues throughout the country and the
candid exchange of failures, successes and best practices is
invaluable.”
–Maria Roloff, VPHR, Mission Hospitals, Asheville, NC
"The
HR Roundtable meetings are a great way to bounce thoughts around with
colleagues, hear new ideas and just have a forum with others in the
profession where we can consult, collaborate and casually ask questions
that stimulate new thinking. In between the meetings just trading
questions with each other is invaluable. That sounds so simple, but
the casual, informal networking is more valuable than a weeks worth of
conferences and lectures."
--Mike Zimmerman, VPHR, Shore Health System, Easton, MD
“The
Healthcare Roundtable has been very profitable for me as a Senior VP of
Human Resources Development. The topics of discussion are very timely
and the diverse perspectives of all the members are very valuable.”
--Barbara Johnson, Centegra Health System, Woodstock, IL
