Ruger to Serve on Panel Discussing Issues of Women and Health Care
Jennifer Ruger, assistant professor in the Division of Global Health at the Yale School of Public Health, will serve on the “How Health Works Out: Healthcare Challenges throughout the Lifecycle” panel hosted by the Women Faculty Forum at Yale and the Yale Office of WorkLife on November 16. The forum will focus on women's healthcare from a variety of perspectives and is free and open to the public. This forum will examine the state of the health-care infrastructure today and its effectiveness in addressing health-care needs. In a global context, health disparities continue to grow, often disproportionately affecting women, children and the elderly. Panelists will consider such questions as: How can burdens of care be managed by improving access (coverage, cost, location, availability)? How do current national and global government-provided health systems, funding and research impact the populations they serve? What possibilities exist for reform and what social values play a role in prioritizing future plans? Other panelists include Jacob Hacker, the Peter Strauss Family Assistant Professor of Political Science and Sherry A.M. Glied, Professor and Chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. Carolyn Mazure, Professor of Psychiatry, Director of Women's Health Research and Associate Dean of Yale School of Medicine Faculty Affairs, will serve as moderator. The discussion will take place 5:30-7 p.m. at Rosenfeld Hall, 109 Grove Street, Room 101. A reception will be held before the panel beginning at 5 p.m. Those wishing to attend the reception should RSVP to wff@yale.edu. |
