Poverty and Health Care Expert Speaks
In Atlanta on Feb. 23
at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies

ATLANTA – Dr. Ronald Angel, a leading expert on poverty and its effects on health care, will present Growing Up Poor: The Health Care Safety Net for Vulnerable Children as part of this year’s Child Policy Speaker Series. The series is sponsored by the Child Policy Initiative.

Dr. Angel will address a growing, potentially catastrophic socioeconomic issue: poor and minority Americans who cannot provide health insurance for their families and children, and the serious implications for health policy that result.

The program is scheduled for Monday, February 23, 2004, at 3:30 p.m. at 229 Aderhold Learning Center, located at 60 Luckie Street in downtown Atlanta.

Headquartered in the Georgia Health Policy Center of the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, the Child Policy Initiative works to improve the quality of child policy in Georgia through the skillful application of current research and analysis.
