Congress recently passed the much anticipated and greatly debated health reform legislation, but what does this mean for the St. Louis region and the rest of the country?
The George Warren Brown School of Social Work at Washington University in St. Louis will host a public panel discussion titled “What to Expect from Health Reform: Implications for the Region and the Nation” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 28, in Steinberg Hall Auditorium.
Panelists will give a broad overview of the complex new health reform legislation, and then discuss the implications of this legislation for consumers, hospitals, physicians, other health providers and employers.
After the panel discussion, there will be ample time for question and answers from the audience.
Panelists are:
- Susan Nestor Levy, chief advocacy officer for Ascension Health;
- Edward F. Lawlor, PhD, dean and the William E. Gordon Professor at the Brown School and director of the university’s Institute for Public Health; and
- William A. Peck, MD, the Alan A. and Edith L. Wolff Distinguished Professor, director of the Center for Health Policy and former dean and executive vice chancellor for medical affairs at the School of Medicine.
Timothy McBride, PhD, professor and associate dean for public health at the Brown School, will serve as moderator.
