A discussion titled “Health Care: How Can We Reduce Costs and Still Get the Care We Need?” will be hosted by Tusculum College on Thursday, Feb. 11, at 7 p.m. in Chalmers Conference Center in the Niswonger Commons on the Greeneville campus and in the large first floor classroom at the Knoxville Regional Center. The joint session will be simulcast.
“Everyone has an interest in affordable, quality health care,” said Dr. Ronda Gentry, director for the Center for Civic Advancement at Tusculum. “By participating in this discussion, every individual has the chance to voice their concerns about the costs and quality of health care.”
As part of a national conversation, health care workers, community members and students are invited to discuss finding a balance between the quality and cost of health care. Participants will explore the advantages and disadvantages of the three options that were proposed through the National Issues Forum.
The results of Tusculum College’s discussion will join the results of other conversations across the country in an effort to direct the national response to the need for affordable health care.
Dr. Gentry said, “As an institution of higher education, Tusculum encourages students, faculty and staff, and community members to take part in this discussion and impact it for the better.”
Sponsored by the Center for Civic Arts and the School of Business, this discussion between the Knoxville and Greeneville campuses will be video linked, increasing the depth of responses and sharing of ideas. No RSVP is required. For more information, contact Dr. Ronda Gentry at rgentry@tusculum.edu.
