 Renowned author Sam Quinones will discuss "the true tale of America's opiate epidemic," as told in his award-winning book Dreamland, as the keynote speaker at the KHA Annual Convention, May 8-10 in Lexington!
 In 1929, in the blue-collar city of Portsmouth, Ohio, a company built a swimming pool the size of a football field; named Dreamland, it became the vital center of the community. Now, addiction has devastated Portsmouth, as it has hundreds of small rural towns and suburbs across America—addiction like no other the country has ever faced.

Health care’s transition to a new

furiously as disruptors emerge
during the next decade. At the KHA Annual Convention, May 7-8 in Lexington, Kenneth Kaufman will
address the key forces behind the
current transformation, the reorganization
of health and health care
services under a population-health
