Financial Toxicity is compromising the delivery of quality health care!
In a recent study, “16% of patients reported high or overwhelming financial distress, and 27% reported medication non-adherence because of financial concerns…
Patients who experienced higher-than-expected financial burden were especially likely to be non-adherent.”*
We are looking for health care experts open to looking at this pressing issue from a new perspective.
Please join us for a lecture and discussion on “Proactive Financial Navigation”
This new model is helping both patients and the institutions that serve them.

Dan Sherman of Mercy Lacks Hospital and NaVectis Consulting, pioneer of Proactive Financial Navigation
