The Two Biggies: healthcare 'n infrastructure - Out to Lunch - It's Baton Rouge

Nationwide, there s a lot of talk these days about two major
subjects Infrastructure and health care. Specifically, how to
improve and rebuild roads, bridges and other vital connections that
we all depend on, and how to pay for the level of increasingly
complex care that our aging population requires. Stephanie s guests
on Out to Lunch are problem solvers whose locally owned companies
are in the thick of these two fields and helping to forge
solutions. Tim Barfield is president of CSRS, an architecture and
engineering firm that specializes in design and program management
for government and private sector facility and infrastructure
projects. CSRS is developing a particular expertise managing
projects in what is known as "the P3 sector" public private
partnerships, like the LSU Foundation Gateway project on Nicholson
Drive. Tim brings a unique background to his role in the company.
He is an attorney who spent years as an executive at The Shaw Group
and more recently served as Gov. Bobby Jindal s Secretary of
Revenue. Matthew Rachleff is CEO of Naveon, a local company that is
harnessing technology to help reduce healthcare costs and deliver
better care. Naveong has developed a communication platform to help
the families of critically ill patients communicate more
effectively with the doctors and hospitals that care for their
loved one. Like Tim, Matthew is also a recovering attorney and a
seasoned executive with a diverse background, in marketing and
brand management. This is a fascinating conversation about the
surprisingly significant Baton Rouge contribution to the two
biggest subjects on the national agenda. Photos at Mansurs on the
