Dear ABA Members, 

Welcome to the May ABA newsletter. The newsletter contains photos of our April Lunch Meeting, as well as a synopsis of each of the presentations and a link to the actual presentation slides. Our sincere thanks to our presenters, Dr. Edo Paz of Hello Heart, and Charles Greenawalt and Matthew Jacobs of Wellrithms for their informative and timely presentations. A special thank you, also, to ABA Vice-President Tom Omiatek who took over the “master of ceremonies” role in my stead and I’m told did a masterful job indeed! (For those not in the know, this was the first ABA lunch meeting I’ve missed in years, as I, instead, went to meet my newly born second grandchild!)

At our June 4^th Lunch meeting we have two excellent presentations lined up – Randy Forman of Oshi Health, speaking about high cost driving digestive diseases and disorders and what you can do about it, and Rick Dade of SolidaritUS Health who will provide an overview of innovative health care delivery infrastructure, high-value care delivery design, and cost containment efforts. We also have an interesting case study involving an ABA member health fund presented by our lunch sponsor, Teladoc. We look forward to seeing you at the June meeting. 

In Solidarity
