“Patient engagement and employee wellness are key areas of focus for the Population Health Alliance, as manifested in the program of this year’s annual conference, the PHA Forum 2014,” said PHA interim Executive Director, Fred Goldstein. “We are thrilled as we welcome Difference Card and Generation One as the newest members of the association. They will add unique perspective to our efforts on behalf of the industry.”
“More technology companies are finding a home in PHA, as we keep pushing the envelope in terms of advocacy and research in the population health management field.
