The individuals listed below are the current chairs or co-chairs of the Medical Care Section Committees.  Many of these committees will be meeting at the Annual APHA Meeting in Washington, D.C., Nov. 3-7, 2007.  The scheduled meeting time is Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, from 6:30-8:00 p.m.  The meeting will be listed in the program as the Medical Care Section Committee Open Forum.  You are encouraged to stop by and introduce yourself to the committee chairs/co-chairs.  One activity of the committees is the organizing of sessions for the Annual Meeting.  If you are interested in becoming more actively involved but are either not attending the Annual Meeting this year or are unavailable during that time slot, just e-mail the committee chair/co-chairs and copy the e-mail to me as well (virgoks@slu.edu).  Please include a copy of your CV.  I will compile a list of all who would like to be more active and supply this information to Section Chair Gordy Schiff (Gdschiff@aol.com).  The Medical Care Section welcomes your involvement.
