Sarah Jones: A Right to Care

By John Vandeventer on July 8, 2009 2:47 PM
UPDATE: See below for the details of Sarah's show in St. Paul this Saturday.

The Associated Press calls her "astounding." People Magazine calls her "amazing." We call her one of the most important and engaging messengers ever to tackle the issue of health care disparities in America. And she's performing in Washington, DC on Thursday, July 9th and St. Paul, MN on July 11th.

Saturday's performance will be followed by a panel discussion featuring Senator Al Franken.

Commissioned by the Kellogg Foundation with the goal of increasing awareness of ethnic and cultural health care disparities, the performance is hosted by the Partnership for Quality Care and the Congressional Tri-Caucus and is free and open to the public. Invited guests include members of Congress, leading health care providers and health equity advocates, as well as nurses, doctors and health care workers from area hospitals.
