Come and hear an examination of the implications of health care reform on business and the health care system from keynote speaker Jeff Belfiglio, a partner at the Seattle law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, and panelists Jonathan Hensley, plan president, Regence BlueShield; David Brooks, CEO, Providence Regional Medical Center Everett; John Rettenmier, senior vice president of employee benefits, HUB International NW; and Renee Sinclair, Northwest regional director, U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

A question-and-answer session will follow. We hope that you will join us for this important event.

“Health care reform will be a reality for every employer who provides group coverage for their employees,” said Shelly Thomas, vice president of human resources for First Heritage Bank. “This event sponsored by the Everett Chamber could not come at a better time. It is critical that we get the facts about plan changes that we will not have any control over and understand how those changes will affect our companies, employees and their families. This will enable us to make plan decisions for the benefit of our whole group, while trying to minimize our premiums.”
