Announcing the re-emergence of the health disparities policy blog

The parent organization of this blog has now announced the First Annual Martin Luther King jr Center for Health Equity Summit, scheduled for august 22/23, 2011 in Washington DC at the Willard Hotel. Program details and registration information will be posted shortly on this blog and on the IAMMM website shortly. The program is being planned by experts in the various areas relevant to health disparities policy, and we shall be publishing notes from these individuals, beginning in the first week of June, concerning the the issues and questions they expect to address at the August meeting. We hope that readers will chip in with their own relevant insights and opinions and questions, such that presenters will be able to include your ideas and concerns in their remarks. The edited blog archives will include the give and take as well as the major points ultimately presented at the summit itself.
Each day until these contributions by our program leaders start appearing, we will be adding policy relevant information that we think will illustrate the kinds of issues that we think will come forth through the blog venue and we look forward to the commentary of our readers.
