As part of this thought leadership series, Polsinelli will present two sessions with expert speakers discussing the announced partnership between Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan Chase to form an independent health care company.

The potential for disruption and disaggregation of traditional and incumbent players is occurring across the health care ecosystem and care continuum, and may accelerate through the intended and unintended consequences of this innovative new venture. Is this partnership a seminal event in defining the future of health care? Author William Gibson said, “The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.” This statement applies as the future of health care fast approaches, but with variability across stakeholders, their businesses, and the communities in which they provide care as part of one of America’s largest industries.

A diverse panelist group will bring a broad range of current perspectives and insights related to this partnership. From the base of the panelists’ unique perspectives, they will discuss their views on the likely near-, mid- and long-term implications of this announced venture on the ownership, organization, payment, and delivery of health care products, supplies and services in America.

The first session in this two-part series will be presented via complimentary webinar on March 1, 2018. The presenters are: 

• Jonathan K. Henderson. 
• Julius W. Hobson, Jr.,
• Christopher W. Kersey 
• Patrick Pilch
• Mark Prather
