WHAT: As the healthcare debate rages on in Washington, it’s difficult to decipher the confusing and sometimes conflicting messages about healthcare reform and what it means for the future.

“Fact and Fiction in Healthcare Reform” is the title of a presentation by national speaker Theodore Marmor, PhD, professor emeritus of public policy, management, and political science in the Yale University School of Management. NEWS MEDIA ARE INVITED.

“This is a unique opportunity to hear from a national expert on healthcare reform,” says Debbie Kim, director of the Intermountain Center for Disaster Preparedness at LDS Hospital and also a member of the Yale Club of Utah who helped bring Professor Marmor to Utah. “We hope anyone who’s interested in this ever changing healthcare environment will attend.”

The presentation is sponsored by LDS Hospital and the Yale Club of Utah.
