Health Care Reform: A Shared Responsibility
Improving Ohio’s health care starts with you. Health care issues like skyrocketing costs, affordable prescription drugs and access to quality care and coverage affect people every day. These are real problems that deserve real solutions, and there’s something we can all do to get them: Get involved, share your ideas and help shape our future.
Join us for “Health Care Reform: A Shared Responsibility” – a community forum from noon until 2 p.m. on Monday, May 19, at the Sharonville Convention Center, 11355 Chester Road, Sharonville. Free lunch will be provided. There is no cost to attend, but pre-registration is requested. To register, call toll-free 1-877-926-8300.
AARP National Board of Directors member Joanne Handy, who also is president and chief executive officer of the Visiting Nurses Association of Boston, will open the panel discussion at our “Shared Responsibility” forum. Other panelists are State Medical Society CEO Brent Mulgrew, Ohio Hospital Association CEO Jim Castle, and Cincinnati Legal Aid Society attorney Col Owens, who is co-chair of Ohio Consumers for Health Care Coverage. Members of the audience will be encouraged to ask questions and share their ideas following the panel discussion. AARP Ohio President Joann Limbach will moderate the discussion.
Ohio Voices for the Future
Too many Americans are just one major illness or injury away from financial ruin due to the skyrocketing costs of health care. AARP Ohio invites you to join us for refreshments and a casual conversation about affordable health care for all.
Bring along a friend to share ideas and help shape the future. Through this conversation we hope to gather diverse perspectives from business owners, community leaders, medical and financial professionals, and Ohioans of all ages. We are asking area residents to share their ideas and concerns, to make their voices heard and thus to help shape the health care debate and our future.
AARP Ohio Voices for the Future community conversation will take place 5:30-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 20, in Loveland at the R.S.V.P. at Wards Corner, 453 Wards Corner Road. Space is limited so please let us know if you plan to attend by contacting Kelley Neal toll free at 866-389-5653 or e-mailing her at ohaarp@aarp.org.
