  The Center for Community Solutions at St. Joseph’s College (SJC) will be hosting the second of three seminars on the Affordable Care Act on Friday, April 15 from 8–10 a.m. in the McGann Conference Center at SJC Long Island.                                                                                                                                                           

  The seminar, “The Affordable Care Act: The Patient's Perspective,” will feature a panel of health care providers, including:

  Stacy Villagran • senior director of health insurance programs at Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council

  Mr. Shannon Egerton; Ms. Melissa Ording; Mr. Mark Drucker and Ms. Denise Civiletti  • community members

  The panel will be moderated by Tim Bishop, distinguished professor of civic engagement and public service at SJC and former U.S. Representative (2003–2015). 

  The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the landmark health reform legislation that was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010. Its goals include extending health care coverage to millions of uninsured Americans, lowering the rate of increase of health care costs and increasing the efficiency of the health care delivery system. The intent of SJC’s seminar series is to assess the progress that has been made toward reaching these goals.

  Continental breakfast will be included. For more information or to RSVP, contact Kara Felton at 631.687.2402 or [email protected].
