Because of the critical nature and urgency of this topic, we have asked PricewaterhouseCoopers and DLA Piper to make available subject matter specialists to address health reform and other benefits. Appreciation is given to both firms for making available their thought leadership materials at www.PwC.com/healthreform and www.dlapiper.com/health-care-reform-alerts respectively.

Parallel events will be held on various dates in Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.
