NUHEALTH’S GIANELLI, TO TEACH A HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY GRADUATE CLASS IN HEALTHCARE ECONOMICS
East Meadow, NY… Arthur A. Gianelli, President/CEO of the NuHealth System, has been invited to return as an adjunct faculty member at Hofstra University, where he will be teaching a graduate class in healthcare economics for the summer semester from May 25th – June 27th, 2011.
Gianelli expects to cover various topics in his class including concentrating on a number of topics relating to healthcare economics, mainly how economics apply to healthcare, supply and demand, principles of insurance with a review of social insurance in the U.S., and recent healthcare reform efforts by President Obama and its implications.
“I am honored to have the opportunity to return to Hofstra for a second year of teaching and look forward to continue to work with the faculty in providing graduate students with insights and knowledge regarding all areas of healthcare financing, especially public healthcare financing, resulting from experience obtained during the last four years as the leader of a major multi-facility health system in Nassau County and in prior years, in a senior executive capacity overseeing significant budgets from municipalities in North Hempstead and Nassau County,” said Gianelli. “I am gratified by the confidence placed in me by the Hofstra University administration and look forward to this summer of teaching.”
