On April 23rd, CED and the Stanford Graduate School of Business Health Care Club hosted the Stanford GSB Health Care Summit: Is Health Care Getting Personal? at Stanford University. Over 120 students attended the event, which featured two keynote speakers, Randy Scott, Founder of Genomic Health, and Mary Hall Gregg, Vice President, Global Clinical Trials and International Business at Quest Diagnostics, Inc. Both Scott and Hall Gregg touched on the future of health care, and offered predictions for how new technology, in both genomics and diagnostic testing, herald a new era of personalized medicine.
The event also included two roundtable discussion sessions, where fifteen health-care industry and business leaders discussed key health care, economic, business, and policy issues with small groups of students. Among the roundtable discussion leaders was Charles Kolb, President of CED, who spoke about the importance of corporate statesmanship, and why it is never too soon for business students to become involved in public policy reform.
CED is proud to have continued its tradition of engaging graduate business students in economic issues of national importance. CED is committed to opening up the dialogue on health-care reform to include emerging business leaders, and is pleased to have had the opportunity to provide a forum for students at Stanford to debate such a critical issue.
The dinner was made possible with support from the Blue Shield of California Foundation. CED is proud to have partnered with graduate students from the Stanford Health Care Club, McKinsey Corporation and Yahoo! to host this event.
