          Thinking, To Change the Health Care ‘Box’
                Sept. 23-25, 2005, Urbana Illinois

Sponsored by the School for Designing a Society and Patch Adams MD, 
this 3-day workshop specifically addresses those people wanting to 
explore and re-invigorate their desires for desirable health care 
delivery systems.

Medical and nursing students, public health activists, midwives, 
patients, community dreamers--all are welcome to participate.

The starting point of this ‘heart-and-brain-shop’ will be the question, 
“What health care delivery systems do I want?” (not only the questions, 
‘what is realistic?’ ‘what is cost-affordable?’ etc).

Sessions begin Fri. Sept. 23, 2pm, and end Sun. Sept. 25, 5pm

Topics:
--Going from desires to designs--”build your own!”
--Health care justice --CCHCC
--Patch Adams and humanistic medicine--ethics & politics of care
--Innovative health care design systems--any ideas? ---Lisa Bell
--How does the Cuban health care system work? ---Susan Parenti
--Changing to a single-payer system---Dr. David Gill
--How to move from ‘managing care’ to ‘care is what manages’?

Application Deadline: Sept. 20, 2005
