This will be a discussion of how our current for-profit healthcare funding system impacts emergency medicine operations and health outcomes, regularly damaging the health and well-being of patients, and preventing providers from ensuring the care their patients need.

Dr. Nordenholz is the Medical Director of the Andrew Levitt Center for Social Emergency Medicine and Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. She has over 30 years of experience in Emergency Medicine, including 5 years working with the Indian Health Service at rural Tuba City Arizona.

Dr. Nordenholz will describe how our current for-profit healthcare funding system impacts emergency medicine operations and health outcomes, regularly damaging the health and well-being of patients, and preventing providers from ensuring the care their patients need.

CSPH will complete an in-depth study of the social and financial impacts of universal healthcare, and how it could be financed and structured. This study will examine provision of comprehensive medical care all Colorado residents regardless of their income, with a network including all providers who operate in Colorado.
