The MHA partnered with the Livonia-Westland Chamber of Commerce on May 14 to host an event at its Livonia offices to engage with business leaders about healthcare costs, listen to their needs and collaborate on potential solutions.
Laura Appel, executive vice president, government relations & public policy, MHA; and Shannon Striebich, president and CEO, Trinity Health Michigan, and current member of the MHA Board of Trustees; presented on the specific challenges facing hospitals, including rising prescription drug costs, stagnant reimbursement and hospitals’ role as large employers experiencing the same significant rise in insurance premiums as other businesses.
The event began with a welcome from Dan West, President/CEO, Livonia-Westland Chamber of Commerce, and the discussion was moderated by Chris Moyer, senior director of public affairs, Truscott Rossman.
The event is one of a series of formal events with business leaders that the MHA is hosting across the state to meet with the business community.
Members with questions about the event and future opportunities should contact John Karasinski at the MHA.
