Saving Lives & Saving Money: Transforming Health and Healthcare

December 4, 2003

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who travels the country talking about ways to fix the nation’s broken healthcare system, was the featured speaker at the December 4 Cornerstone New Jersey program at the Trenton Marriott at Lafayette Yard. 

At the event, Newt clearly and comprehensively described the problems with our current healthcare system, explained why it cannot continue to stagger along, and most importantly, offered his own ideas about how to transform healthcare delivery into a 21st century system that saves lives and money.

To foster such change, Newt launched the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Health Transformation. His ideas are featured in his book, Saving Lives & Saving Money, which describes best practices for a healthcare system that is centered on the individual, prevention focused, knowledge intense and innovation rich.

Following his presentation, Newt rolled up his sleeves for two hours with Cornerstone members and other invited New Jersey government, education, business and healthcare leaders, to discuss the topic and explore how to apply what they learned to New Jersey.
