TOWARD THE HEALING OF OUR MODERN MEDICAL MODEL

A PANEL, FORUM, & THE INSCRIBING OF THE CONCORD
COVENANT   presented by the Center for American Studies


The Concordium encompasses 5,000 people from America
and over 50 nations around our world, from custodians to statesmen, -women,
representing the breadth of professions and “callings” in between.

How do we translate the ideals and principles of our past,
including Transcendentalism into a language for our modern times? We invite you to
bring your best thoughts, aspiring hearts, and good will to the circle of
colleagues, “Concordium.”

Join us for A PANEL, FORUM, & THE INSCRIBING OF
THE CONCORD COVENANT 

 The panel distinguishes itself in bringing
together around the “table” major participants/actors in our modern health care
drama to address what, we suggest, are the two central, and related,
questions before us as a nation:

1) How have we each both
individually (and our particular profession) been part of the health care
problem?

 

2) How are we working on and/or
envision ourselves (individually and professionally) becoming ever more fully a
part of the solution?
