Congresswoman Debbie Dingell serves as the elected representative for Michigan’s 12th District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Dingell has invested countless hours advocating children’s rights, including service on the board of Michigan’s Children, the only statewide independent voice working to ensure that public policies are made in the best interest of children from cradle to career.
Dingell is one of several keynote conference speakers who will address the influence and impact from health policy on clinical practice and patient-centered outcomes. Additional topics include Value vs. Volume reimbursement and the approaching population based payment system, economics of prevention and the interface between policy and practice.
