OPEN MINDS In Collaboration With Centerstone Announces Final Agenda & Faculty For The Mergers, Acquisitions, & Affiliations Summit In Long Beach This August

Gettysburg, Pa. (July, 21 2019) – OPEN MINDS announced the final agenda and faculty for The OPEN MINDS Mergers, Acquisitions, & Affiliations Summit: Best Practices For Non-Profit Health & Human Service Organizations. This executive summit will be held on August 15, 2019 from 7:30am – 3:30pm following The 2019 OPEN MINDS Management Best Practices Institute at the Hilton Long Beach Hotel in Long Beach, California.

The OPEN MINDS Mergers, Acquisitions, & Affiliations Summit is a collaboration between OPEN MINDS and Centerstone, designed to provide non-profit provider organizations the tools they need to build a successful partnership strategy and overcome the challenges of making mergers and acquisitions work.

This year, our focus is on understanding how different types of collaborations can provide different benefits and challenges for organizations to help executives determine which type of collaboration is the best fit for their organization.

During this one-day experiential summit we will hear case study presentations from non-profit provider organizations who have participated in a merger, acquisition, or affiliation in different formats. From mergers driven by the desire to integrate with primary care, to a sole member affiliation model, to the formation of an administrative services organization to create affiliations—each of these case study presentations will review the ups and downs of the process and offer strategic advice for organizations exploring the same path.

The summit agenda will include:

• A Merger Of Two Non-Profit Provider Organizations: A Legacy Treatment Services Case Study – Roy Leitstein, MS, Chief Executive Officer, Legacy Treatment Services
• A Non-Profit Primary & Specialty Care Merger: A Mosaic Case Study – Scott Hoffman, Chief Financial Officer, Mosaic & Mike Lyons, Strategy & General Counsel, Mosaic
• A Non-Profit Health System Acquisition Of A Specialty Provider Organization: A Carrier Clinic Case Study – Donald Parker, LCSW, President, Hackensack Meridian Health Carrier Clinic

• Administrative Service Organization Acquisition Of Non-Profit Provider Organizations: A I Am Boundless, Inc. Case Study – Patrick Maynard, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer, I Am Boundless, Inc.
