Received award for "outstanding service and commitment to Medicare"

During our general sessions at our NAHU Capital Conference in Washington DC, one of our speakers was Jim Parker, Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Health Reform, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

Jim had a great presentation about some of key initiatives the administration is focusing on related to healthcare reform. Two key areas that caught my attention were efforts related to reducing Pharmaceutical Drug Pricing and finding ways to reduce the costs and improve the experience for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Jim also happened to be actively involved with the Medicare Plan Finder activities we were working on with CMS.

At the end of Jim's presentation, he surprised me with this award. 

What an amazing honor from such a senior representative at Health and Human Services (HHS).
