Managing Healthcare with Values in Turbulent Economic Times - Health Administration Symposium

A 2009 Symposium for Health Administration Professionals

The Graduate and Professional Studies division of Saint Joseph's College of Maine is holding its second annual symposium for health administration professionals July 20th through 24th in 2009! Again, this symposium is designed for students wishing to gain academic credit (undergraduate and graduate) and others who seek continuing education credit. Students who attended last year's event may also attend in 2009 to earn credits in the health administration elective courses area.

This symposium will be focused on managing the business of healthcare, using values and integrity, in spite of the unpredictable economic times. Special topics will be included that are particularly relevant in these difficult times and will be presented by nationally-known experts in those areas.

"While health care has long been thought to be 'recession-proof' because of an endless supply of sick patients and reliance on government payment, health care organizations are as vulnerable to the tightened credit market as any industry"
