Healthcare is one of the most dynamic and innovative sectors of our economy and is currently our nation’s largest growth industry. It is also one of
the country’s most diverse industries from the healthcare professionals
to the patients they serve. Consumer demand for healthcare services is
increasing rapidly and experts believe that by 2030, healthcare spending
could be 25 – 30% of GDP.
Hospitals and healthcare providers must continue to meet rising demands
in services while financing capital needs and bearing shortfalls in payment
from Medicare, Medicaid, and the uninsured. These conditions create an
unprecedented opportunity for healthcare suppliers to partner with their

contain costs.
The Healthcare Symposium on Supplier Diversity brings representatives
together from the entire health care supply chain to encourage business
innovations that address the needs of a more diverse society and what
that means to the future of how healthcare is delivered.
Diversity today means more than race ethnicity and gender. It can refer to
thinking style, educational background, geographic location, generation,
avocation, lifestyle, sexual orientation, work experience, and more. It is
within these contexts that talent within the healthcare industry will
develop and innovations emerge.

Synopsis oF The Surgeons: Life and Death in a Top
Heart Center
An over-the-shoulder look at a major heart surgery center, with
gripping accounts from the OR to the boardroom.
Americans now spend more money on hearts than on new
passenger cars. To understand this remarkable trend, Charles
R. Morris “embedded” himself with a surgical team at New York
Presbyterian Hospital in New York City, one of the world’s premier
cardiac surgery and transplant centers. Given unprecedented
access, Morris witnessed sophisticated operations and observed
the tense meetings where surgeons relentlessly criticize their
own performance. In thrilling detail, Morris recounts a late-night
against-the-clock “harvest run” to secure a precious transplantable
organ; the heart-breaking story of a child’s failed transplant; a
trainee surgeon’s brutal daily regimen; and much more. Along the
way, Morris documents the fifty years of research and hundreds of
millions of dollars that have been expended on creating a reliable
mechanical heart, and he steps back to reflect on how doctors
think and how they judge each other, what is really driving health
care costs, and the future of health care policy in America.
