1. Introductions

2. Hospital Mergers - An Inside Look
Hospitals are a major employer in New Hampshire, and certainly the cost and quality of health care is always a top-tier priority for employers and their workforce.

There have been several announced mergers between health systems in various parts of the state over the past year. Is this a trend? What is driving these decisions, and what are the hoped for outcomes?

Join us for a special look at hospital mergers "from the inside" with guests John Kacavas from Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Chris Callahan from Exeter Health Systems, two health organizations who are at different stages of the merger process.

3. Update on Breast-Feeding Legislation

​Joyce Kelly, chair for the NH Breast-Feeding Task Force will update the committee on language relating to reasonable accommodations in the workplace for nursing mothers.
