The 17th Annual CRC and Sac State Fall Ethics Symposium will be Friday, December 2 and this year's topic is "The Ethics of Providing Healthcare."

We want a health care system that is efficient and just, where these criteria are compatible with the idea that anyone who needs care will receive it. But it’s important to pay attention to the supply side — where will the specific services will come from and how they will be delivered. Most people think the U.S. does poorly along these lines and that there are ways we could do better.

Join us for free and use the link below to learn more about the state of American healthcare! Flyers are also available at the CRC Library.
