PRESENTED FOR AAUW GREENSBORO MEMBERS AND AFFILIATES IN COLLABORATION WITH AARP NC TRIAD
The POWER TO HEAL is a documentary that tells a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story is the tale of how a new national program, Medicare, was used to mount a dramatic, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals across the country in a matter of months.
Through the voices of the men and women who experienced disparities and fought against them, POWER TO HEAL will introduce a broad, missing link in the Civil Rights Movement — a struggle over healthcare from a half-century ago, that raises questions that resonate today: is healthcare a human right?
A panel discuss will follow the screening with the following:
-
Althea Taylor Jones, PhD, President, Southern Gerontology Society
-
Barbara Berney, PhD, Associate Professor at the City University of New York School of Public Health and Producer of The Power to Heal
-
Catherine Harvey Sevier, DPH, State President, AARP NC
