Provena and Vermilion Advantage Pair Up to Host Dialogue on Health Care Reform
10/08/2007

Danville, IL, October 8, 2007 — 1.6 million people in Illinois are without health insurance. People who have health insurance are paying more. Some people are forced to choose between paying for medication and buying food. Still others delay visits to doctors because they can’t afford them. Health care costs and access to services are a growing concern for more and more people each year and two local organizations are interested in getting people talking about solutions.

Provena United Samaritans and Vermilion Advantage are hosting a day-long dialogue on health care reform on October 19, 2007 at the Danville Days Inn. This is an event that will encourage Vermilion County residents to look at how health care works today and at some possible ways to make it better in the future.

The event is put together in a way that invites you to share your thinking and to listen to the ideas of others. Pre-registration for this event is required. To learn more or to be a part of this exciting day, please contact Stephanie Faraci at 217 337 2908/Stephanie.faraci@provena.org and check out www.ourhealthcarefuture.org.
