The role of the hospital trustee continues to evolve and become more complex. Along with healthcare reform and constant regulatory changes, the rapid evolution of technology and the demands of physicians keep the plates of board members full. At this year’s New England Healthcare Assembly Trustee conference, we’ve gathered together experts and opinion-leaders from many areas to provide trustees with information and thought-provoking discussions regarding the governance challenges faced by the “21st Century Hospital Trustee.” We hope you’ll join us this year at New England’s most comprehensive and affordable multi-day hospital trustee conference, hosted by all New England state hospital associations.
