We are pleased to extend to you an invitation to join us on Tuesday, October 4, 2011, in Wichita for the 2011 Kansas Health Law Institute-Compliance Issues Program.

Each year Foulston Siefkin presents a day-long Health Law Institute focusing on the most pressing legal issues facing the health care industry.  The Health Law Institute is designed for senior executives, administrators, CEOs, CFOs, corporate counsel and compliance officers interested in minimizing legal exposure.  This year we grouped together the topics focusing on hospitals and physician groups in the morning and grouped together the compliance topics relevant to both the senior housing and care industry, as well as other health care providers in the afternoon.  You may attend the afternoon compliance issues program for just $75. All presentations will be made by experienced Foulston Siefkin lawyers who regularly advise senior housing and health care providers on a variety of legal issues.

The Affordable Care Act has accelerated enforcement activity. This session will provide lessons learned from investigations and prosecutions across the country.
