Delegate to Congress Donna M. Christian-Christensen will hold forums Jan. 26, 27 and 28 for government officials and the general public to voice their concerns about the territory’s health care system.
The delegate will meet with officials during morning and afternoon sessions and with the general public during evening sessions on each island.
“This is an opportunity for me to hear first hand what the issues are so that I can request funding for priority health issues this term,” Christensen said. “The forums will also assist shaping my agenda as I take on the chairmanship of the Congressional Black Caucus’ Health Braintrust which monitors national minority health issues.”
The forums will take place as follows:
St. Thomas – Jan. 26
Government officials, 10 a.m. – noon, Roy L. Schneider Hospital, Conference Rm. A (2nd Floor)
General public, 6 p.m., Roy L. Schneider Hospital, Conference Rm. A (2nd Floor)
