We hope you can join us next Thursday June 22nd for the Seattle premiere of the provocative new documentary, American Hospitals: Healing a Broken System, that pulls the curtain back on out-of-control costs of hospitals and their transformation into money-making businesses. How did we get here and how can we incentivize hospitals to provide the highest quality care at the lowest cost?
Learn the answer to those questions and hear the call to action from physicians, policy makers, researchers, business leaders and hospital administrators, including Wendell Potter, President of Business Leaders for Health Care Transformation and the Center for Health and Democracy, Dr. Don Berwick, former Chief Administrator at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Dr. Elisabeth Rosenthal, Editor-in-Chief of Kaiser Health News, and many more. We are delighted to bring the Washington state perspective to this discussion with speakers:
- Representative Nicole Macri (D-43rd District)
- Sybill Hyppolite, Government Affairs Director, Washington State Labor Council
- Aaron Katz, Principal Lecturer Emeritus, School of Public Health, University of Washington
Where: Seattle Central Library, 1000 4th Ave, Microsoft Auditorium on the 1st floor
When: June 22nd, doors open at 5 pm, film from 5:30 to 6:30, discussion to follow
And if you happen to be in Spokane, you can join our sister event on the same day at the downtown Spokane Library 906 W. Main Ave, 3rd floor from 6:30-8:30 pm.
