For those of you in the New England area, it's still not too late to register for Everybody Counts: A State Policy Agenda to Eliminate Health Disparities, an all-day symposium at Tufts Medical School on Dec. 6. The symposium is presented by the New England Coalition for Health Equity (NECHE), with support from the U.S. Office of Minority Health. Registration is $30, which includes lunch and continental breakfast.
Since we can't expect much from federal policy in the coming years, the states are the arena where action in this area will have to happen. The symposium builds on a report done for the Commonwealth Fund by McDonough, et al. You can download the report for free at McDonough Report . While you're there, browse the other Commonwealth Fund publications, they have a lot of great material.
To obtain a registration form, send an e-mail to ajitha@lhi.org. But hurry! (That's Latin American Health Institute, which is NECHE's research arm.)
