ABI’s Annual Spring Meeting: Committee Educational Session
The Health Care Committee leadership invites and urges all members of the committee to attend the ABI’s 26th Annual Spring Meeting at the Renaissance Hotel in Washington, D.C. on April 3-6, 2008. Don’t miss the cherry blossoms! More importantly don’t miss the Health Care Committee panel. This Spring’s panel will focus on the disposition of the assets of distressed health care entities both inside and outside bankruptcy. Health care entities considered will include hospitals, SNF’s, and assisted living facilities. The panelists will include bankers, bankruptcy attorneys and other business professionals. Given the possibility of a recession and the movement in many states to “rationalize” the delivery of health care, the panel’s discussion will be both interesting and timely.
