The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce will present a seminar and panel discussion this month on the federal health care reform’s impact on small employers.

The event will be from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 27, at Maceli’s, 1031 N.H.

Panelists will include Kansas Insurance Commissioner Sandy Praeger, Lawrence Memorial Hospital CEO Gene Meyer, and Gerry Hollis, a senior associate at Willis HRH, among others.

The seminar will address how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act might affect businesses. Specifically, it will look at what impact the legislation will have on health care benefits offered, health care costs, and possible availability of other benefits for employees.

The discussion will focus on immediate health reform changes that are scheduled to occur Sept. 23.

The event costs $10 for chamber members and $15 for nonmembers. The deadline to register is Friday.
