Vice President of the National Partnership for Women & Families to Keynote Fifth Annual X2 Healthcare Network Conference
Christine Bechtel promotes policy change to executive women in healthcare
SOLVANG, CA, January 12, 2012 /Healthcare PR News/ -- The X2 Healthcare Network (X2HN), a non-profit organization of women healthcare leaders, welcomes Christine Bechtel, Vice President of the National Partnership for Women & Families, to share her policy-changing work at the upcoming 2012 X2HN Xscape annual meeting March 18-20. The National Partnership is a non-profit consumer advocacy organization based in Washington DC that has been the driving force behind some of the country's most important policies and initiatives - including the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and the Consumer Partnership for eHealth.
One of Bechtel's primary goals is to ensure the federal Meaningful Use program is patient-centered. "The implementation of patient-centered health IT policy and initiatives helps assure that every patient receives the high quality, coordinated care they deserve. As the taxpayers funding this program, they deserve nothing less. I'm excited to share our work at the Partnership with the women executives of X2HN and further engage these leaders in our efforts to make sure the promise of health IT is realized for patients and families."
X2HN, is the only social and professional network that enables executive women in healthcare to convene in a retreat environment and work towards the common purpose of "Improving Healthcare" while enriching their personal friendships and igniting their passion to pursue career excellence. X2HN members represent healthcare providers, product and service vendors, payer organizations and patient advocates.
The two-day Xscape will feature a combination of presentations and networking opportunities, plus a workshop by Janice Hurley, renowned brand consultant:
Workshop with Janice Hurley - Optimal Perception
Janice Hurley-Trailor, the Perception Expert, is a keynote speaker, business consultant, executive coach, and one-on-one image makeover consultant. This personalized workshop for X2 Healthcare Executives is designed to help participants maximize their personal and professional excellence.
