Camille Miller, president and chief
executive officer of the Texas Heath Institute, will explain the new
health-care law at the next in the Wharton Chamber’s Lunch and Learn Seminar
series.
The luncheon will be from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, at the Wharton Civic Center. Tickets go on sale
Monday, March 11.
An emphasis of her talk
will be the new law’s impact on businesses.
Miller gained extensive
experience in policy research and development while she served in Texas for
three governors, two lieutenant governors, a state comptroller, and state
senator, planning, researching and developing state ies.
She also held executive
staff positions at the Texas Department of Community Affairs and the Texas
Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.
As chief of staff for
the Texas Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, she supervised
legislative studies on medically fragile children, reorganization of health and
human services, and conducted the most recent comprehensive study of Medicaid
in Texas.
In February 1995, the
Texas Hospital Association selected her to be the director of THA’s Medicaid
project, and immediately promoted her to Director of Regulatory Affairs. When
the 32-year-old Texas Hospital Education and Research Foundation changed its
name and mission, THA again tapped her experience in policy development and her
strong leadership skills, asking Camille to be the first president and chief
executive officer of the Texas Institute for Health Policy Research.
In 2006, a merger with
Texas Health Foundation created the Texas Health Institute, an independent,
statewide non-profit organization.
Luncheon tickets are $15 for Wharton Chamber
members and $20 for others. Call 532-1862 to reserve them.
Luncheon sponsors are Exellon Generation, the
Wharton Journal-Spectator, Moonwalks ‘N More, and H-E-B.
