Do traditional models of consumer choice work for health care decisions? If not, what are the alternatives? These questions have implications for business people, health care professionals, policy makers, and yes, all of us as consumers. Our distinguished panel of professionals, entrepreneurs, and scholars will provide insight and facilitate a conversation among a diverse group of alumni and guests from across the sectors. We look forward to building on the fascinating discussion, “Can good health be good business?” introduced in the Yale SOM Alumni publication, Q3.

Program starts at 7:00 p.m. Reception immediately preceding and following discussion. We look forward to seeing you there.
