Nov 3 Business on the Move Luncheon Program: Redefining the Big Blue H
Join the New Lenox Chamber for November's
Business on the Move Luncheon!

Redefining the Big Blue H
Healing & Health Transformation in Households & Hospitals
Speaker: Nancy Wohlhart, Strategy and Network Development Officer for Presence Health Partners
Why is fundamental change in health care needed?   And what will this change will look like?
For decades, the Big Blue H has been the symbol for health care.  It represented patients in hospital beds and emergency rooms, receiving life-saving care from doctors, nurses, and sophisticated technology during significant illnesses and injuries.  But the high cost of health care is threatening the country’s overall economy. It’s impacting individuals, families and businesses.
Hospitals, health systems and physicians are fundamentally reinventing ourselves – rethinking how we use our expertise and resources; retooling to reach outside our big buildings and into communities and homes; becoming more integrated and coordinated; and getting involved sooner, to foster better health at lower cost.  With a new emphasis on prevention and proactive management of health, hospitals  of the future will serve a  different purpose than they do today because, if we are doing our job of keeping people healthy , we won’t need all of the brick and mortar.  This fascinating real-time glimpse of transformation happening within Presence Health will explore payoffs:  healthier families, employees, and bottom lines for your business.
