Event Details

Please do not forget to attend Dr. Michael Fine's Ten Theses about Health: An Overview of the Healthcare Debate and the Construction of a Social Theory of Health hosted by STAR. The talk will be this Thursday, April 1st, 2010 at 7pm in the Lecture Center. Dr. Fine will also be signing copies of his new book which will be available for purchase.

Michael Fine is a community organizer, an author, a nationally known health policy expert, and the Managing Director of Health AccessRI, the first of its kind in the nation network of family practices that provide affordable primary care to people without employer provided health insurance. For the last ten years, he has been the top ranked family physician in Rhode Island Monthly's Best Doctors in RI series. Fine's 2007 book The Nature of Health, co-authored with James Peters, is now in its third printing from Radcliffe Publishing (UK). He speaks widely across the US, mostly to physicians and health policy audiences. He was on the National Health Policy Council for the Obama Campaign and Transition, and was an invited guest at The White House in 1993, for the unveiling of the Clinton Health Care Reform proposal, after having participated in its development, and was an invited guest at President-Elect Obama's Inauguration, in recognition of those roles.

There could not have been a more relevant time for this discussion and we are lucky to have Dr. Fine give this talk. All are welcome and we hope to see you there.
