Reminder: Monday March 19, 2018
TOPIC:
A New Vision for American Healthcare
Each month, the Functional Forum focuses on a specific topic of interest. This month, they traveled back across the highlights of the past 50 Forums to showcase the main themes driving the success of our community.
The Functional Forum started a as a small NYC-based Meetup Group. Over the last four years, it has grown to encompass 50 shows, 170 podcasts, countless conferences and summits, four unique practice development products, numerous media appearances and over 100 Meetup Groups across five countries.
As you know, in Rhode Island, we gather on the second Monday of the month (one week after the live Functional Forum event) to watch key highlights, network with each other, and elaborate on the topic of the month. This month we will have one guest speaker, Kathleen Mitchell, as well as an opportunity to share our successes and struggles of operating in this ever-changing world of healthcare.
