  • MidAmerica Healthcare Venture Forum, to take place April 22-23 in Chicago, unites active investors with corporate business development executives to facilitate investment opportunities with promising Mid-America based startups.

    The event showcases emerging innovation and technology dealflow originating in the Midwest, and has earned the reputation as the premier healthcare investing conference.

    The speaker lineup reflects a stellar program and some of the industry’s most influential and innovative leaders.

    To get to know each of these leaders a little better before the conference, we asked them each the same four questions. Bruce Japsen writes about health care and policies from the president’s hometown.
    Be sure to register for the event — there’s still time — and join our LinkedIn group for the event.

    1. Who influenced you to get involved in healthcare and/or investing?

    I’m a health care journalist and was always fascinated by healthcare having been a brother and son of nurses.

    2. What do you think is the most important change happening in healthcare today?

    The transformation from fee-for-service medicine to more accountable care in part from the Affordable Care Act but also initiatives in the private sector.

    3. What is your biggest pitch pet peeve/what’s the most bizarre press pitch you’ve ever received?

    You don’t have enough space on your website for me to describe this.

    4. What’s one piece of advice you would give to an entrepreneur?

    Please read my new book, Inside Obamacare: The Fix for America’s Ailing Health Care System.”
