Today, nearly 400,000 Virginians all across the across the
Commonwealth are unable to access affordable health insurance, while
their neighbors across the border in Kentucky, Maryland, West Virginia
and Washington, DC can.
Virginia Wesleyan College invites you to join them for A Call to
Action: Healthcare as Moral Imperative on October 8 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
in the Blocker Hall auditorium on the VWC campus. The event include
screening of a film about the work of Remote Area Medical, an
organization that provides medical and dental care in Appalachia and
other underserved communities, followed by stories from local residents
impacted by the health insurance coverage gap. A panel discussion with
representatives from the Catholic, Jewish, Muslim & Protestant
faith traditions, and an opportunity for questions and a call to
action, will conclude the evening. Our panel will articulate how each
faith tradition makes healthcare access a moral imperative. We will
end with a Call to Action, inviting you to act on behalf of your
neighbors throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia who are currently
unable to access adequate healthcare.
