GW Hospital to Host Healthcare Reform Town Hall

EVENT:

The Medical Society of the District of Columbia will hold a town hall event "Reforming America's Health: From Diagnosis to Prescription."

Opening remarks will be given by Dr. Joseph M. Giordano, George Washington University Hospital trauma team leader for President Reagan in 1981. 

The roundtable discussion between the physicians revolves around one question - "is it good medicine?"  After the discussion, the audience of physicians, patients and journalists will then ask the panel questions which will be open for discussion.

Registration is required due to limited seating availability.  Please respond by one of the following:
