As the future of healthcare takes shape, it is essential that attorneys from all segments of the health care bar and other professionals serving health care organizations are up-to-date on the latest legislative and policy developments and the implementation of significant health care initiatives emanating from HHS, CMS, IRS, DOJ, OIG and other key government agencies. The ABA Health Law Section's Annual Washington Health Law Summit provides a unique opportunity for federal and state government lawyers, in-house counsel and private practitioners to collaborate and learn from each other.
