Join DABE and the Colorado Health Institute for a discussion on the rising costs of healthcare, changes to Medicaid, and the role of work and health insurance in the healthcare system. We will be joined by Dr. Cathy Bradley from CU Anschutz and Emily Johnson from CHI to present on their work and research into these subjects. We will be serving hors d'oeuvres and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at this evening event.

Dr. Bradley has published extensively in leading journals such as the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and JAMA Health Forum, and has been continuously funded as a principal investigator by the NIH since 1998. She earned her PhD in Health Policy and Administration and MPA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her BA in Political Science from Old Dominion University.
