The Fort Hays State University Small Business Development Center, Ellis County Coalition for Economic Development, along with Insurance Planning Inc. and the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce are hosting “Operating Under the Affordable Care Act; Business Owner Considerations” from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 17, at FHSU’s Robbins Center.

Affordable Care Act regulations continue to impact both small and large companies as they plan for 2017 and look for ways to grow their businesses. This health care forum is an opportunity to educate business owners — big and small — on how recent legislation will affect them and their employees, and what options are out there for them.

Representatives from Allied Health, BCBS of Kansas and Brungardt Hower Ward Elliott and Pfeifer will serve as panelists.

While the forum is free, RSVPs are requested to http://ksbdc.ecenterdirect.com/events/22398.
