Keynote Presentations
20 Years of Healthcare Reform: Lessons for the Future
Dr. Donna E. Shalala
President, University of Miami and Former Secretary, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Sponsored by Astellas Pharma US, Inc.

Respected for her leadership in the public and private sectors, Donna Shalala is a leading voice on healthcare and education. Her expertise and experience allows her to examine the future of healthcare reform and cut through the rhetoric of the election debates to help us understand what  we can expect from continued efforts to control costs and align state and federal policies.

The longest-serving Secretary of Health and Human Services, Shalala reinvented the nation's approach to care-giving and laid the groundwork for the new millennium. Shalala dealt head-on with the nation’s most controversial issues — healthcare financing, head-start programs, AIDS, medical privacy, biomedical research and healthcare-oriented welfare reform — while also funding shelters for battered women and instituting anti-discrimination measures. Her relentless championing of “the little guy” and her tireless work earned her the Medal of Freedom in 2008, America’s highest civil award.
