FRESNO – Federal healthcare reform is already beginning to affect California, but many Californians know little about the changes that are coming, a problem that The Greenlining Institute is hoping to remedy with the next in its statewide series of town hall meetings, scheduled for Jan. 18 in Fresno.
The event is the latest in a series of town halls that Greenlining has held around California, with an emphasis on the needs of communities of color and low-income Californians. Experts will provide information about the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and solicit input from audience members about their questions and concerns as well as suggestions for effective implementation of the law in California.
WHAT: Town Hall meeting regarding California implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
WHO: Alexis Dennis, Health Fellow, The Greenlining Institute; members of the public
WHERE: Chicano Youth Center, 1515 Divisadero Street, Fresno, CA 93721
WHEN: Wednesday, Jan. 18, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
