Preview of UWM's Leadership Healthcare Forum

Jon Strelecki
Tom Luljak and Ron Cisler

During this presidential primary season, the debate over what our nation's healthcare system should look like is in full swing. Do we keep Obamacare or repeal it? Is a national healthcare system in our future?

While there is no agreement on these political issues, there is one goal everyone can agree on - finding a way to improve healthcare while lowering costs.

In a few days, UWM'sLeadership Healthcare Forum will bring together business and health care professionals from throughout the region to talk about this important topic.

On this edition of UWM Today, host Tom Luljak talks with Steve Burd, who is delivering the keynote address at the healthcare forum, and Ron Cisler, dean of the College of Health Sciences  - a sponsor of the forum. Burd is the founder and CEO of Burd Health and the former chairman and CEO of Safeway, Inc.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
