Texas Health Resources - The Business of Healthcare

Welcome to the
The Business of Health Care Report - January 2001

Hello, I'm Doug Hawthorne, President and CEO of Texas Health Resources, reporting on the Business of Health Care for News Radio 1080 KRLD.

Each Monday and Thursday, I will provide a two-minute report during the noon news hour.

Our focus will be on the health care industry, its impact on our local economy, the legislative agendas affecting health care and the changes influencing your business bottom line and your pocketbook.

Here are just a few of the topics we have planned:

What health care issues do congress and the Texas legislature have in their sights for this year?
Why should Medicare reform be important to you, even if you're not 65?
How are businesses managing health care for retirees?
What does local consolidation of insurers and hospital systems mean for you?
What are the challenges and the role of public and community hospitals in the health care spectrum?
Why is the uninsured population rising? Who makes up this growing segment of society?
How will the changing demographics of our area affect health care delivery?

Let me hear from you. If there is a health care subject important to you, e-mail me at DougHawthorne@TexasHealth.org.

For Texas Health Resources and its family of hospitals: Presbyterian Healthcare System, Harris Methodist Hospitals and Arlington Memorial, I encourage you to follow the Business of Health Care report here on TexasHealth.org, and to listen in every week on News Radio 1080 KRLD.
