The public not only welcome to attend, it's strongly encouraged to show up and learn about the "forces affecting health in our community."

In case you were wondering why a Tucson legislator would moderate a Tempe/Scottsdale event, try this quote from his legislative bio:
Phil was the Executive Director of the Health Systems Agency of Southeastern Arizona from 1981-1987, and prior to that held senior administrative positions with the Arizona Health Foundation, which provided health care to low income families and individuals, and with Visiting Nurse Association Home Health Services.

Directions to the Granite Reef Senior Center - Loop 101 to McDowell, exit westbound on McDowell to Granite Reef. Turn north on Granite Reef for approximately 300 feet; parking is on the west side of the street.

Later!
