Philadelphia chapter: Fetal surgery expert event at CHOP
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is hosting a Philadelphia chapter meeting for the Association of Health Care Journalists on Thursday, Sept. 26 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.
The focus is on fetal surgery, a field that has delivered big changes in spina bifida treatment and other complex conditions diagnosed before birth.
The sessions will kick off at 5:55 pm with a Welcome-Intro from Dr. Scott Adzick, CHOP’s Surgeon-in-Chief, and at 6:05 pm, we go to breakout groups, enabling us to rotate through six short presentations.
CMS officials answered questions from reporters about the federal health insurance marketplace. Reporters had direct, on-the-record access to Gary Cohen, deputy administrator and director, Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight, and Julie Bataille, director, CMS Office of Communications.
