Just one month after announcing their partnership in bipartisan healthcare reform, Tom Daschle, former Democratic Senate majority leader, and Bill Frist, M.D., former Republican Senate majority leader, have confirmed they will keynote the 2011 GHX Healthcare Supply Chain Summit. The Summit is the largest event in healthcare that focuses on the entire supply chain and brings participants from across the industry to address a range of critical issues facing the healthcare industry.

"Having Tom Daschle and Bill Frist at this year's Summit is the perfect illustration of the commitment we at GHX have to bring a broad range of individuals and organizations together, whether from different sides of the political spectrum or across the supply chain, to create a sustainable healthcare system," says GHX Chief Executive Officer Bruce Johnson. "By providing the industry's only neutral platform for providers and suppliers, we are in a unique position from which to discuss these critical issues and believe that the supply chain is one of the most significant levers the industry can use to achieve real healthcare reform."  

Hundreds of healthcare leaders from hospitals and medical-surgical suppliers across North America and Europe will to meet in Dallas April 18-20, 2011, for this year's Healthcare Supply Chain Summit. The three-day event will explore the future of healthcare and how supply chain solutions can significantly reduce costs while improving patient outcomes.
