Kelly Hart of PPNT speaks

July 27, 2010 in Meetings, TDWCC Events

We had a great program last night presented by Kelly Hart, Executive Director of Planned Parenthood North Texas. She spoke about the new health care reform bill and its potential to affect women’s heath issues. With only 45 minutes to discuss this huge bill and the changes it’s bringing, she didn’t get into too much detail, but left us some resources for more information:

Center for Public Policy Priorities (CPPP), which has for more than twenty years been a nonpartisan, nonprofit policy institute committed to improving public policies to better the economic and social conditions of low- and moderate-income Texans through independent research, policy analysis and development, public education, advocacy, coalition-building and technical assistance.

Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a non-profit, private operating foundation focusing on the major health care issues facing the U.S., as well as the U.S. role in global health policy. Unlike grant-making foundations, Kaiser develops and runs its own research and communications programs, sometimes in partnership with other non-profit research organizations or major media companies.  KFF is a leader in health policy and communications.
