FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Aug. 24, 2017)

— Broad and Cassel’s Health Law Practice Group will once again host national and local experts for discussions around today’s rapidly changing health care landscape at the annual Broad and Cassel Health Forum Oct. 11.

New to the speaker lineup this year is retired CEO Howard Root, who after a five-year ordeal with the U.S. Department of Justice, authored Cardiac Arrest: Five Heart-Stopping Years as a CEO On the Feds’ Hit-List. A corporate lawyer by trade, he founded Vascular Solutions in 1997, and during his tenure, invented and launched more than 100 cardiovascular devices. Root will share his legal nightmare of how he fought Federal criminal charges that a jury summarily dismissed.

Also offering a keynote presentation is The Advisory Board Company on the playbook for population health followed by two panel discussions. Panel topics will cover compliance and risk, and medical transactions with private equity.

Panels will be moderated by Broad and Cassel Fort Lauderdale Managing Partner Gabriel Imperato and Partner Mike Segal, co-chair of the firm’s Health Law Practice Group. Additional Broad and Cassel attorneys joining the panels include Of Counsel Anne Branan and Senior Counsel O. Benton Curtis.

The Health Forum is sponsored by Broward County Medical Association, Dade County Medical Association, Palm Beach County Medical Society, ProAssurance Companies, PYA, South Florida Medical Group Management Association, South Florida Hospital and Healthcare Association, South Florida Hospital News, SunTrust and Withum.
