The current debate over healthcare regulation and reform has left the investment community wondering where new opportunities will trend in the sector. Regardless of where they may be, healthcare remains a driving force in the national and international economies, warranting continued and sustained investment.

On December 1st, Argyle Executive Forum will host its 2009 Deal Making in Healthcare event, taking place in Manhattan. The event brings together approximately 100 - 115 senior operating executives from public and private healthcare firms, select private equity and hedge funds, prominent research fellows and select members of the advisory community.

Please note that the limited seating for members of the advisory community is offered first to those that are supporting the event as sponsors. Participation by partnership organizations (advisory firms, vendors, etc) is limited to clients of Argyle Executive Forum. Argyle meetings are by invitation only.
