The Changing Hospital System in Rochester (legislature will speak at public library)
Primary tabs
Health care is a huge local issue. I don't have health care. This could be a good oppurtunity to ask how we'll all be covered. We know it's not lack of facilities or profit that keep us from coverage.
FYI from library pamphlet:
Tuesday February 17th, Central Library (115 South Avenue) 12:12-12:52pm
Genesee Hospital closses and Highland and Park Ridge expand their emergncy departments. St. Mary's closes and some suggest Strong is trying to dominate health care in Rochester. Community rating for heath care, long an example of community cooperation in Rochester, is at risk. Where's our health care system going locally? And who's making the decisions? Join doctors and consumer advocates as we all get a better handle on the state of health care in Rochester.
Speakers: Bill Benet, Monroe County Legislature, and director, Rochester Council on Occupational Safety and Health; Rene Reixach, Attorney and former director, Finger Lakes Health Care Systems; a doctor TBA.
