Dear Friend,
In response to a request from the Obama-Biden Transition Team, County Executive Ken Ulman, Health Officer Peter Beilenson, and I are co-hosting a county-wide health care reform discussion on Monday, December 29th, from 7:00-8:30 p.m., at the Bain Center in Columbia (5470 Ruth Keeton Way, Columbia, Maryland 21044).
Our county is a particularly good location for such a discussion as we have taken significant steps to increase access to health care for the uninsured (via our unique-in-the-country Healthy Howard Access Plan) and improve community-based wellness efforts. In addition, with one of the pre-eminent primary care practices in the County recently considering going to a retainer system (boutique medicine), this gathering can provide a forum for discussion about the growing problem nationally of lack of access to primary care and the variety of reasons for it.
If you can attend, please let us know by calling Dr. Beilenson's office at 410-313-6363.
Sincerely,Delegate Shane Pendergrass, Vice-Chair, Health and Government Operations Committee
