The Kane County Democratic Women are excited to share our upcoming healthcare panel discussion, “What the Health?” on Sat. Oct. 21st at the Batavia Public Library 10:00 AM -12:00 Noon.
We will examine how COVID exposed existing inequities in the US healthcare system, revealing the ongoing need to improve and reform healthcare access in order to achieve health equity, including the Social Determinants of Health and the intersection of current social issues, such as Addiction, Aging, Climate Justice, Debt, Disability Rights, Domestic Violence, Gun Violence, Jobs, Immigration, Housing, Inflation, LGBTQ+ Rights, Mental Health, Poverty, Racism, and Reproductive Rights, as they relate to healthcare disparity.
This is a great opportunity to ask an expert panel questions like:
How can we improve access to healthcare by eliminating barriers for patients, and healthcare providers?
Why is our US healthcare system so complicated and dysfunctional for families, and society as a whole?
Who is affected the most by current inequities in healthcare?
When did healthcare become so expensive in the US?

Hello Dear Friends,
I am sharing this email with you in hopes you would consider joining us this year. I know like many of you, we have organizations that are near to our hearts.
Suicide Prevention Services of America in Batavia is that organization for me. Suicide has impacted our family as it has many others and this organization has been helping support families, schools and communities in the Fox Valley area for over 30 years.
Kim and I want to fill 2 tables this year. If you are able to attend, please find the registration information in the link below.(Please indicate you are with us)
If you are not available to attend, perhaps consider making a donation or providing a gift that could be used in the raffle to help raise funds in support of their mission.
Thank you for everything you do.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

At 12:30pm CT on Monday, December 4th, Raja Krishnamoorthi will be hosting a virtual town hall with local experts on the ongoing youth mental health epidemic, how best to address it, and what steps parents, health care professionals, and policymakers can take to help those in need.
Following the onset of the pandemic, awareness to do more to address America’s mental health crisis, particularly in teens and young people, has risen, but there is still more to be done at all levels, particularly as we confront the related substance abuse challenges facing our nation. You can RSVP to the town hall here.
