Health Care Issues Come to the Fore
By Heather E. Yow, Member, CAS Committee on Health Care Issues

The CAS Committee on Health Care Issues is alive and well! We have recently renamed the committee (formerly known as the CAS Committee on Health and Managed Care Issues) and updated our mission statement (see below). The newly refreshed committee will focus on increasing communication of health care issues and bringing more educational opportunities to the CAS community. This includes a greater affiliation with the SOA Health Section and the AAA Medical Malpractice Subcommittee.

If your property/casualty work is affected by health care issues, and you are looking for a volunteer opportunity, we are looking for additional committee members. Check out our mission statement or talk to a committee member.

CAS members can find the committee roster online. Members will be receiving an e-mail survey shortly so they can let us know their needs for educational opportunities related to health care issues.
