LCA Members Autumn Luncheon with Cedars-Sinai CEO, Dr Heitham Hassoun

LCA Member Luncheon with Heitham Hassoun, Chief Executive, Cedars-Sinai International

The LCA presents an exceptional opportunity for our members to hear directly from one of America’s leading healthcare innovators – up close and personal.

Join us for lunch with Heitham Hassoun, the CEO of Cedars-Sinai International — the renowned American private hospital group now making its first move into the UK with a new London presence.

As Cedars-Sinai begins its exciting new chapter, this promises to be a fascinating insight into its vision for healthcare, international expansion and the future of private medicine in the UK.

There will also be a valuable opportunity to question Heitham directly and discuss what the Cedars-Sinai model of working with private doctors could mean in the UK — and the potential impact on consultants and private practice here.

This is a unique chance to hear the story behind Cedars-Sinai’s arrival in London, engage directly with its CEO and explore what this significant development could mean for the future of private healthcare.

For more information, contact the LCA office office@london-consultants.org. Members will be emailed booking information in September.
