Heath Care Session In Bemidji

State Senator Mary Olson, will host an informational session on Friday on health care reform and the state of Minnesota. The Bemidji DFL-er says with the recent passage of federal health care reform Minnesota will be deciding on a varied menu of options that will determine the direction of health care in Minnesota for years to come. To help hospitals and other health care providers, understand the legislation and the options that are now available, the meeting will be held April 16th, at Education Center A and B at the North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji from 3pm to 5pm.

The session will feature a video replay of a presentation that was given last week in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee by University of Minnesota and state commerce and human services department experts. Following the presentation, North Country Hospital representatives and other health care providers will provide feedback and advice specifically related to the local impact of the federal law with direction about how the state might best take advantage of the options available.

The public is also invited to view the presentation.
