American University Washington College of Law Annual Spring Health Law Symposium

The Health Law Project, Program on Law and Government, of the American University Washington College of Law is hosting its annual Spring Symposium, entitled: “Where the Action is: Innovative State Health Care Initiative.” The Symposium will provide the environment for a stimulating exchange of ideas from health care academics, attorneys, government officials and others who will speak on the issues surrounding federal and state efforts to regulate the health care industry. In that regard, the Symposium will highlight major health care issues surrounding recent state initiatives, including: access to health care and cost containment, managed care, stem-cell research funding, racial equity in the provision of health care, quality measures, uniformity in health care regulation, and reducing pharmaceutical expenditures.

William Flanagan and Thomas Gies are part of a panel at this symposium. The topic will be "Increasing Access to Health Care and Containing Costs."
