BRG Healthcare Restructring Conference

Ian Hammel spoke on a panel entitled "Financial Market Challenges and the Impact on Not-for-Profit Hospitals", at the BRG Healthcare Restructring Conference.

The outlook for not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare in the US remains negative for 2018, which reflects the impact of a continued erosion in payer mix as the aging baby boomer generation moves into Medicare and as newly eligible Medicaid patients access more healthcare services to address deferred care and chronic conditions. Over the longer term, not-for-profit hospitals will be increasingly challenged by regulatory and political uncertainty. Given all this, what is the financial outlook for the remainder of 2018, and what challenges will not-for-profit hospitals face in the future?
