Honoring the Oath: A Call To Action
The National Physicians Alliance is returning to Washington, DC for our 4th Annual Conference...
Plan to join us!
March 14th through 16th, 2009
This year’s theme:
HONORING THE OATH: A CALL TO ACTION
The National Physicians Alliance is determined to keep health reform at the top of the political agenda. Get involved in building a diverse physician community that works to improve health and well-being and to ensure equitable, high-quality health care.
This year’s conference will feature presentations on:
- the current state of health care reform
- the public health implications of violence
- the AIDS crisis
- the civic engagement of physicians
- ethical issues in the delivery of health care
Keynote Speakers:
-
Dora Hughes, MD, MPH, Counselor to the Secretary of Health and Human Services
-
Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President of the Children's Defense Fund
-
Jennifer Beeson, Co-Director of Government Affairs, Families USA
And don't miss our lobby day! On the closing day of the conference we will offer trainings on how to speak effectively with local, state, and federal representatives about issues in health--then we will head to Capitol Hill for direct meetings. If you have never attended a lobby day before, now is the ideal time to get involved.
