Saving Money or Lives - the Health Care Conundrum
CHICAGO, July 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by SAVE THE PATIENT:
State budget cuts are impacting mental and physical health care services at agencies statewide. Grants have dried up for local mental health centers cutting services for patients who desperately need them.
On Monday, July 26 at 6:00pm Chicago Access Network (CAN-TV), Channel 21, will air a live call-in program, "Community Health," which will focus on how state budget cuts impact health care services in our communities.
Host Lenore Janecek, president and founder of SAVE THE PATIENT, will discuss with board member Nancy Churchill, recently laid off from her job as Coordinator of the 13th Judicial Circuit Family Violence Prevention Council, how these draconian cuts have reduced social services that children and families depend on every day and how to work together to find solutions.
Viewers are encouraged to join in the program by calling-in their questions.
