SUMMARY:Health Reform & Social Justice: Opportunities for Reducing Inequity and Addressing Health Disparities
DESCRIPTION:\nRegister at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/173140998387 ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/173140998387 )\n\n\n\nThe League of Davis California will host an evening with Dr. Susan Rogers, President of Physicians for a National Health Plan (PNHP). Dr. Rogers’s presentation will include an overview of the U.S. health care system through a social justice lens, followed by a discussion highlighting disparities resulting from our current policies and opportunities to improve inequities through health reform.  Manatee League, among others, is a co-sponsor.\n\n\n\nThis forum aims to educate voters about our current healthcare model and how it impacts local care access, affordability, quality and equity. Our guest speaker provides insights into how health reform can improve each of these to optimize community health and wellness. The LWV Davis Area supports the National League healthcare positions in support of an affordable, accessible, quality, and equitable health care system, critical for the health, safety and economic security of all communities. Becoming an informed voter is fundamental to ensuring the engagement needed to affect meaningful reform. \n\n\n\nDr. Rogers is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and currently an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Rush University. She has recently retired from her hospitalist practice in Chicago at Stroger Hospital of Cook County. She has previously served as co-director of medical student teaching at Stroger and as Medical Director of Near North Health Service Corp, a Chicago FQHC. Most recently, Dr. Rogers spoke at the June California League of Women Voters Annual Convention, providing the presentation: “Health Care: Inequities and Opportunities”.\n\n\n\nTo help speakers best address your concerns and questions, we encourage attendees to please submit them in advance to komalh@lwvdavisarea.org ( mailto:komalh@lwvdavisarea.org ) before October 4.\n
