Penn experts lead discourse on healthcare reform

Please join us today as we bring you some of the leading experts from accross the University who will discuss healthcare reform in the country and in Pennsylvania. The event -- Reforming Health CARE: In the Public Interest -- will take place Wednesday, November 18th at 2:30p.m. in the Ann L. Roy Auditorium of the School of Nursing.

How do we solve the problem of the existing shortage of primary care providers that would only exacerbate by expanding insurance to millions of uninsured? Are there implications of Pennsylvania’s healthcare reform strategies for other states? What healthcare reform bills offer the best opportunity to redesign care to produce better patient outcomes?

These are just some of the many questions that will be addressed and answered at today's dialogue that will bring together healthcare experts from across the University as well as the architect of Rx for Pennsylvania, the governor’s blueprint for improving access, quality, and affordability of healthcare.
