Subject: Health Symposium

We are ready to go with the Health Symposium for Seniors.  The title will be "What Seniors need to know about "Wellness on the Palouse" and the new federal "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act."  The symposium will be held on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 in the auditorium upstairs in the U of I Student Union Building (SUB) from 9:00 AM to noon.  This is an opportunity to promote our wellness programs and answer questions about the new federal law as it applies to Seniors.  Note that this will not be a debate on the merits or the politics of the law.  Our speaker schedule as it exists now (subject to revision) follows (see attachment also);
