FIX IT: Healthcare at the Tipping Point

Thursday, July 14, 2016 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm

Soaring healthcare costs are mystifying many--Exactly why have they been rising so dramatically?
Who is our healthcare system serving? How are costs distributed, and how have they changed in recent years? 

Join us for a screening of the 58-minute documentary FIX IT with guest speaker Doctor Walter Tsou.  

Dr. Tsou is a nationally known consultant on public health and health care reform. Currently, he is on the adjunct faculty in the Center for Public Health Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania. He was President of the American Public Health Association in 2005. He served as Health Commissioner of Philadelphia from April 2000 to February 2002. Prior to his appointment, he was the founding Deputy Director for Personal Health Services and Medical Director of the Montgomery County (PA) Health Department from 1991-2000. Before 1991, he was the Clinical Director in the Division of Ambulatory Health Services for the Philadelphia Department of Public Health. He has extensive experience in public health and has lectured widely on public health and health disparities.
