SPEAKER: Dr. Stephen Riggs, Steve Riggs, MD, MBD, FACS; Professor Advocate Health, Wake Forest School of Medicine Vice Chair Department of Urology- Atrium Health Levine Cancer Center, Carolinas Medical Center
Healthcare delivery is experiencing unprecedented change and growth. The United states spends more on healthcare than any other country but ranks low when measuring many health outcomes. Government (medicare and medicaid) health insurance remains a topic of great debate while Artificial intelligence brings excitement and new energy to fixing some of our greatest challenges.
