LIVE Webcast – First in New Series “Today’s Topics In Health Disparities”

On Friday, March 2, at 1 p.m. ET, Kaiser will launch a new series of live, interactive webcasts entitled “Today's Topics In Health Disparities,” which will be devoted to addressing a range of issues relating to health and health care disparities in the United States. Each discussion will feature a panel of experts tackling current issues in health disparities and answering questions from webcast viewers. The first in the series, “Is the U.S. Making Progress in Reducing Disparities in Health Care Access and Quality?” will provide an overview of key findings in the 2006 National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR), focus attention on evidence showing the areas in which racial and ethnic disparities in health care have narrowed, and discuss interventions that may explain some of the gains achieved. Marsha Lillie Blanton, Kaiser senior advisor on race, ethnicity, and health care will moderate the panel, which will include Carolyn Clancy, M.D., director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; Reed Tuckson, M.D., senior vice president of Consumer Health and Medical Care Advancement at UnitedHealth Group; and Elena Rios, M.D., M.S.P.H., president and CEO of the National Hispanic Medical Association.
