Healthcare Transparency & Trust
“A Forum with Houston’s Foremost Health Leaders”
 
Earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Edelman unveiled findings from the 12th annual Edelman Trust Barometer.  Pairing data from the 2011 Edelman Health Barometer, we now know that health is a powerful trust driver and transparency is one of the keys.  Nearly 8 in 10 people trust a company more if it is effectively engaging in the health of the public in an open and authentic way.

Edelman will be examining the intersection of trust and transparency on April 25 with a forum of Houston’s foremost health leaders. Leading the discussion will be Nancy Turett, Edelman’s Global Health Chair.  She’ll be joined by a panel of Houston healthcare experts, including: Jim Langabeer, CEO of Greater Houston Healthconnect; Dr. Stephen Linder, Associate Professor at University of Texas School of Public Health, McGovern Center for Humanities and Ethics; Dr. Atul Varadhachary, President, U.S. Operations of Reliance Life Sciences. 

Transparency and trust leaves no one untouched – this session will apply to a myriad of health care sectors including: access, policy, providers, public health, research, and technology. Join us for a lively presentation and panel discussion on health-related opinions and behaviors to better understand what creates or eliminates transparency and trust in health care.   RSVP by April 19 to Crystal.Rivera@edelman.com or 713-970-2101.
