Forsyth chamber hosts healthcare summit

FORSYTH COUNTY – Local Business people can hear about healthcare in Forsyth as the Cumming-Forsyth Chamber of Commerce hosts "State of Healthcare in Forsyth County: A Healthcare Summit" on Thursday, Nov. 5.
Dr. Bill Custer will discuss the state of healthcare in Forsyth County, the effects that the Obama Administration will likely have on healthcare and the related health policy options, how these changes will impact Forsyth County.
As hospitals are facing narrowing credit markets, physicians are watching reimbursement dwindle, and other firms contributing to the improvement of healthcare in the United States are watching their margins fade, the current financial situation is having real effects on healthcare providers, patients, and communities.
Custer is an associate professor and director of the Center for Health Services Research Institute of Health Administration at the J. Mack Robinson College of Business, Georgia State University.
He is an expert in the areas of employee benefits, health care financing and health insurance. Prior to joining the College in 1995, he ran his own research firm in Washington, D.C. Custer also has been the director of research at the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) in D.C., as well as serving as an economist in the Center for Health Policy Research at the American Medical Association State of Healthcare
