NHS Professor On Long-Term Care

Robert Friedland, Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Health Systems Administration at NHS, will speak Monday, June 11, at a forum on financing long-term care.

The event—titled "Toward a More Efficient and Effective Systems of Financing Long-Terms Care and support by The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation—is part of the Georgetown University Financing Long-Term Care Project.

Friedland, who also holds an appointment at the Health Policy Institute of the Georgetown Public Policy Institute (GPPI), will moderate and present during the a session on, "Why the Current Public-Private Partnership Needs to Change." GPPI Dean Judy Feder is also participating in the event, which will be held at the Barbara Jordan Conference Center of the Kaiser Family Foundation at 1330 G St., NW.

The goal of the day-long session is to examine why current financing options need to be changed and to explore specific financing options developed by a diverse group of experts commissioned under the project. While there is currently a waiting list to attend the forum, Kaiser will Web cast the session.
