From Top Leadership Teams: A Broad Spectrum

Rick Breon and Mike Freed, CEO and CFO, respectively, of Spectrum Health in Grand Rapids, MI, were on the finance panel at HealthLeaders Media's Top Leadership Teams event last fall. In addition to hospitals, Spectrum also owns a 500,000-member health plan, which, as Freed and Breon explain, is useful in helping hold down healthcare prices in their region, keeping it attractive for business investment in the area. The 2008 Top Leadership Teams event is scheduled for Oct. 15-16, 2008 in Chicago.
