“We are thrilled to have Mr. Master join us to examine this timely and important topic on Moravian’s campus,” commented Dr. Sabrina Terrizzi, InFocus program co-director and assistant professor of economics and business at Moravian. “This is an opportunity for us to engage our community in dialogue about how we can reduce the costs of healthcare, improve our health outcomes, and provide relief to our small business owners, nonprofit organizations, and entrepreneurs who struggle to provide affordable health insurance options to their employees or families.”
