LOUISVILLE - The Louisville chapter of Financial Executives International (FEI), Norton Healthcare and SIHO Insurance Services hosted an exclusive discussion on breakthrough strategies to proactively manage health care costs.

Against the backdrop of health insurance premiums increasing at an unsustainable rate, CFO peers and colleagues heard industry leaders discuss ways to help people access the best quality care at the most affordable rates. At the event and afterward, the financial executives provided feedback directly to Norton Healthcare and SIHO Insurance Services.The speakers were Adam D. Kempf, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Norton Healthcare and Allison Ledford , Director, Employee Wellness.

Ledford leads N Good Health, Norton Healthcare’s employee wellness program, and brings this workforce background to the organization’s employer relations strategy group.
Rabbit Hole Distillery is one of the relatively new additions to the downtown Louisville landscape. The Kentucky-based craft bourbon and whiskey distiller, is located in a contemporary, industrial-chic facility "that raises the bar in the science of distillation and the art of hospitality," said its CEO, Kaveh Zamanian.
