patients across the Mid-South's six states.
Other panelists included Dr. Thomas Fenter,
Chief Medical Advisor, Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Mississippi, and Elizabeth Johnson, J.D.,

"We were honored to have Dr. Thompson share his
time and perspectives with our Board members,"

has been the architect of many progressive
health reforms in Arkansas, and we hope to
continue to work with him as we enter this new
era."
