June 22 Humanist Forum: Getting the Health Care You Want
Karen Duncan, Ph.D. will discuss themes from her forthcoming book, The Sacred Myths of Health Care. These myths include: #1. The U.S. has the best health care in the world. #2. Our doctors practice to the highest standards of care. #3. Someone is in charge of our health care system. #4. An open-market system is best for managing/delivering health care. #5. In the future you’ll be a full partner in your own health care. For over 35 years Duncan has been engaged in health care systems research, analysis, and planning. With undergraduate studies in medical technology and a doctorate in biostatistics and epidemiology, her experience includes medical information systems, hospitals and clinics, medical school faculty, consulting, lecturing and writing.
The Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am at Mitchell Park Community Center. The Mitchell Park Community Center is located at 3800 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, Just north of Charleston Road.
