The neutral platform and convening power of the IIS, comprising all stakeholders of the insurance industry, uniquely positions it as a unique platform to deliver expert guidance that will inform our industry leaders' decisions in the coming weeks and months.  We are pleased to begin this series with expert insight from Dr. Oz and Sharecare's Jeff Arnold, leading voices in the healthcare space," said Mike Morrissey, CEO of IIS.
