Overcoming Disparities in Health Care:
A National Dialogue Facilitated by the Surgeons General

Please join us at a historic, interactive gathering of thought
leaders and system change agents to address the issue of
disparities in health care. Key leaders from the community
and the medical and government sectors will come together
to determine strategies for closing the gap between physicians
and patients.

Dr. David Satcher, former United States Surgeon General, will
deliver the opening Keynote Address. Distinguished presenters
include representatives from Congress, and medical and community
organizations. Dr. C. Everett Koop, former United States Surgeon
General, will provide the workshop summary and charge to action.

This workshop is part of a larger project,  "Communication in Health
Care Project," a major initiative of The CHEST Foundation, the
philanthropic arm of the American College of Chest Physicians.  It is
the culmination of several important public dialogues that encourage
physician-patient partnering and seek solutions to health-care issues.
