In addition to serving as Executive Vice President and Provost at The University, Arthur Garson, MPH, MD is the author of Health Care Half Truths: Too Many Myths, Not Enough Reality.  He will join the UVa Club of Middle Tennessee here in Nashville on Monday evening, March 1, discuss America's health care, focusing on the ways in which the system is tarnished, as well as the ways in which it shines. He will shed light on the information whirlwind surrounding the health care debate, including a close look at the 'sound bite' arguments which, while sounding reasonable and making news headlines, are often flawed. The discussion will explore common myths and provide hard facts to piece together the real picture, as well as health care reform.

The program will take place in the conference center at Bass, Berry & Sims, PLC, 150 Third Avenue South, Suite 2800, with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres at 5:30, followed by Mr. Garson's remarks at 6:30.  Free parking will be available in the Pinnacle at Symphony Place garage.

The cost is $10 for UVa Club members and their guests; $20 for non-members and their guests.  You can register online between now and February 25th.  If you are not already a dues paying member, you may receive the discounted rate by first paying your Club dues online.  NOTE: If you are unsure of your current dues payment status, please eMail Rachel Settle to confirm.
