Unmasking the hidden role of private equity in the U.S. healthcare system
Friday April 4, 2025 4:00pm - 4:30pm EDT
Senate Ballroom (2nd floor)
The private equity industry controls huge pools of money, exerts power over business and politics, and is almost entirely opaque. Members of the Globe Spotlight team will talk about how they pierced the secrecy surrounding PE-founded Steward Health Care and produced stories that executives never wanted to see. They will be joined in conversation by Commonwealth Fund President and longtime Boston primary care physician Joseph R. Betancourt discussing the growing impact of private equity ownership on various facets of the U.S. health care system.  This session is sponsored by The Commonwealth Fund. SABEW retains control of content, including the topic and speaker selection, for all conference sessions.
