Dear Healthcare Executive: With an estimated one in three Americans suffering at some point from a neurological disorder, and an increasing number of aging population with an increased awareness of neurological diseases/treatments, the Neurosciences is becoming one of the most important clinical areas for hospitals and health systems to manage. Due to the recent advances in technology, declining payor reimbursements, and increasing number of baby-boomers, most hospitals, physicians and healthcare facilities are starting to see the benefits of defining themselves by centers of excellence and are willing to invest in comprehensive neuroscience programs. It is imperative for you to develop the planning and investment strategy to succeed in this highly competitive field and capture the consumer market. Join us January 27-29, 2010 at Barrow Neurological Institute-Phoenix in a gathering of administrative and medical leaders all striving to advance their neuroscience and spine service lines. Geared more towards the hospital side of Neuroscience/Spine business this conference offers the ideal forum to learn from experienced leaders on how to develop, operate and maintain a comprehensive neuroscience program.
