Local citizens invited to join national dialogue on
health care
As part of a national dialogue, citizens throughout
northwest Ohio are invited to participate in a series
of public summits late this month to discuss the topic
of health care. WBGU-PBS and BGSU’s Center for
Regional Development (CRD) are partnering to organize
and document local summits in five northwest Ohio cities,
culminating in a regional summit.
Deliberation Week 2005, Oct. 24-29, is designed to energize
and enhance the national conversation on America's role
in the world and to make global concerns locally relevant.
More than 1,000 Americans in communities around the
country will join together in a common deliberation
about one of two critically important issues before
the nation: health care and education.
The local summits on health care will be held at various
times in Bowling Green, Defiance, Findlay, Fremont and
Lima to allow participants to choose the most convenient
venue. All are invited to discuss health-care issues
with peers and experts to help shape local, state and
federal policy. The summits are non-partisan.
These deliberations, covered by WBGU-PBS and 15 other
selected Public Broadcasting Service stations around
the country, as well as other media, will be complemented
by a national PBS broadcast produced by MacNeil-Lehrer
Productions, with station contributions. WBGU will feature
the events in local programming and provide footage
for the national “By the People” program
to air on PBS at 10 p.m.
Nov. 10.
In addition to randomly selected participants, who have
been contacted by letter and phone calls, the general
public is encouraged to participate. Interested people
can register or receive more information by emailing
btp@wbgu.org or calling
Robin Weirauch at the CRD, toll-free at
866-562-7277.
These events are funded in part by grants from the William
and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers
Foundation, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting
and MacNeil-Lehrer Productions.
Other partnering organizations include the Health Policy
Institute of Ohio; BGSU's College of Health and Human
Services, Institute for Psychological Research Application
and Statistical Consulting Center; the University of
Toledo’s Urban Affairs Center, and the League
of Women Voters.
