WISE General Meeting Dec. 14th, 7pm – Healthcare: the intersection of change

We often think of the term healthcare when asked for our co-pay at an appointment or when we have to pick up a prescription, but the reality is healthcare intersects so many important facets of society today. In fact healthcare is the leading issue out-of-state political workers are using to garner to bipartisan support during the latest election cycle. Why, because every American needs quality, affordable, reliable healthcare; regardless of political affiliation.

Creating this reality for America will not only require a rework of the current medical system, but also far reaching systemic change, especially for communities that continually suffer a disproportionate rate of chronic illnesses and premature death. Many of the financial burdens of the healthcare system can be addressed and/or eliminated long before they ever manifest into long term costly health issues.
