Despite the fierce political debate we witnessed this year as President Obama and Congress worked to overhaul national health care policy, health care remains a very personal issue. To help us move beyond politically charged rhetoric and the avalanche of competing statistics put to partisan use, David Bowen ’86, PhD, former staff director for health of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, and Cecile Richards’80, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the nation’s leading reproductive health care advocate and provider, with a nationwide network of more than 840 health centers, will discuss what the new health care reform law can — and cannot — do to increase the quality of care, expand access to health care services, and improve population health. Moderated by Terrie Wetle, PhD, associate dean of medicine for public health and public policy, and professor of community health.
Immediately following the forum, there will be an informal reception for alumnae/i and their families to connect with one another, network with faculty, and learn more about the programs of the Office of Women in Medicine.
