On Sunday, March 1st, Jo Ann Lingle, RN, BSN will be speaking on Medicare for All. Although recently retired, Jo Ann had been a nurse since Medicare was passed in 1965! She has cared for many individuals and families in Metro Chicago from community hospitals to outpatient clinics and not-for-profit home health care. She had a kitchen table view of the influence of social determinants of health, as well as a vision of the potential good of a multidisciplinary public health system. Come hear Jo Ann talk about the ailments of our current system and how single-payer healthcare will start the process of healing our broken system.
