HLNDV Hosts Annual Student Case Competition

On Friday, March 8, the Healthcare Leadership Network of the Delaware Valley hosted their annual Student Case Competition. The Case Competition is a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their talents, gain presentation experience, and potentially earn a scholarship award. Scholarships are awarded from the I. Donald Snook Educational Fund to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers.

Students are eligible to participate if they are enrolled in a healthcare management program either at the undergraduate or graduate level. Competitors presented a healthcare case study examining an innovative strategy, scientific achievement, or delivery methodology happening in Philadelphia.
