this legislative session?

A nationally renowned leader on health care payment and delivery reform
will discuss how doctors can benefit from new care models; a foremost
public health physician expert will highlight lessons learned from Texas’
Ebola crisis; and rounding out the program is the dean of the Capitol
press corps, who will share his memories from covering Texas politics over
the years.
