Disparities in Healthcare and Health Outcomes
All events will take place in the Wolstein Research Building Auditorium (unless otherwise noted)
To examine and create dialogue around issues pertaining to health policy, the School of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University has developed the Case Health Policy Forum. Each academic semester, the Forum will examine a key facet of health care policy, with the goal of educating the public and the medical profession, raising awareness of critical issues in health policy facing our community and the nation, and working creatively to formulate solutions for those issues. Initiated by Ralph Horwitz, MD, Dean of Case School of Medicine, and Jerome P. Kassirer, MD, Adjunct Professor of Medicine and Bioethics at Case and former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine, the Case Health Policy Forum will bring prominent health policy authorities to Cleveland throughout the academic year.
The first series in the Case Health Policy Forum will focus on disparities in health care and health outcomes. The School of
Medicine will host leading experts in the field, including: Dr. Christina Paxson of the Center for Health and Wellbeing at Princeton University (on November
3rd); and Dr. Nicole Lurie of the RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities (on November 10th). Sir Michael Marmot
of the International Centre for Health and Society at the University College London, will be the keynote speaker at a three-day symposium, to take place November
30th - December 2nd. All events will be free and open to the public, but
space for each will be limited to 200 participants. Unless otherwise noted, events will be taking place in the Auditorium of the Wolstein Research Building 2103 Cornell Road.
