Donald H. Crane, President & CEO, CAPG  CAPG Members and Friends:

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2012 CAPG Healthcare Conference at the Desert Springs JW Marriott in Palm Desert. This year's conference will shine a spotlight on the changing healthcare environment. As you are well aware, healthcare reform will be a key issue in the upcoming presidential election. We have assembled some of the brightest minds in the industry to educate, debate and enlighten us as we forge ahead in these unchartered waters. I highly advise you and your staff to attend this not-to-miss event.

Our outstanding lineup of keynote speakers includes Donald Berwick, MD, former Administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; Shannon Brownlee, nationally recognized expert on American Healthcare Reform; and Harold Miller, Executive Director for Center for Healthcare Quality and Payment Reform.  

Once again we have assembled a panel of Healthcare experts to present their views on today's hot issues. You'll also find many educational breakout sessions that drill down to the details of some of the successful projects and programs developed by CAPG groups including two pre-conference sessions offered free to conference registrants. 

As always, the CAPG Conference offers unsurpassed networking and social events. Our famous Friday night Exhibit Fair and Strolling Dinner is just one example. Others include a Saturday night dinner dance, nightly receptions, and a golf tournament scheduled for all day Thursday.

I'd also like to remind our members that the Desert Springs JW Marriott is an excellent venue for your own executive planning meeting or staff retreat. Let us know if you'd like to schedule an event by contacting Nelson Maldonado at nmaldonado@capg.org or call 213-239-5041, and he'll help you make the arrangements.

Please review the pages of this website for more information, and call us if you have any questions. We anticipate a large attendance and I urge you to register as soon as possible.
