As you know, we co-sponsored this event with Organizing for America and Health Careers Opportunity Program at AL A&M University.

Big thanks go to these folks from our HCEA e-mail list group for their part in the event:

+  Razi Hassan, PhD — for having his students help sponsor and volunteer at this event; making the room arrangements; and handling event publicity on campus.

+  Anis Salib, PhD — for giving a short talk on the healthcare reform scene in Washington, DC as it is today.

+  Pippa Abston, MD — for giving a short talk on the Alabama numbers … uninsured, underinsured and about the monopoly that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has in our state. (Many of us were surprised they have 83%!)

+  Jennifer Humiston — for helping with handouts, participant sign-ins, and posting flyers before the event.

Channel 48/WAAF -TV came out and taped a segment for their 5 PM news on Saturday. Maybe some of you caught that?
