Following the service, there will be an oneg featuring special guest speaker Robert (Bob) Brady, who will speak on “Why Healthcare Costs Continue to Increase at Dramatic Levels and One Potential Solution.” 

Robert (Bob) Brady had a long career at the Food and Drug Administration, where he served as senior counsel and as an Executive Assistant to the FDA Commissioner, and at two major Washington, D.C. law firms. During his nearly 20 years at what is now the Hogan Lovells law firm, Brady founded Hogan’s FDA/Pharmaceutical Practice Group, where he provided counsel on FDA matters as well as enforcement matters brought by the Department of Justice. Prior to entering private practice, Brady also served as General Counsel and then Executive Vice President of a major consumer products trade association.

Brady currently serves as key advisor to Patients’ Rights Advocate (PRA) (PatientsRIghtsAdvocate.org), a nonprofit, nonpartisan health care reform group whose goal is the implementation of systemwide healthcare price transparency. The group consists of many experts in all areas of healthcare. Through advocacy, testimony, media, legal research and grassroots campaigns, as well as in the crafting of model legislation, the organization seeks actual upfront healthcare price transparency that will greatly lower costs through a functional competitive marketplace.

The deadline to register for dinner is 12:00 pm on Wednesday, March 11. No RSVP required to attend only the service and oneg.
