Dr. Robert Smith, a family practice physician at Richland Medical Center, will joined three speakers from across the U.S. to participate in the National Health Policy Forum in Washington D.C., Friday, October 19, 2007.
According to the National Health Policy Forum website at www.nhpf.org/index.htm, “The National Health Policy Forum sought to inform the public policy process by helping participants—federal health policymakers in the legislative and executive branches and in congressional support agencies—engage in rigorous, constructive, and respectful dialogue. This multi-faceted approach helped participants navigate the difficult decisions that confront them and provided a common point of reference for their deliberations and problem solving.”
