This is Sarah Riley Parker, second year student at U of L Medical School. A couple of weeks ago she spoke at the Kentucky Medical Association annual meeting, urging this physicians’ organization to support national single payer healthcare. Her resolution was an awesome step towards educating and winning these Kentucky doctors to support the health care reform that works! Her resolution received about 10% of the vote.

Sarah is from Murray, Kentucky, and is passionate about bringing excellent care to rural communities. She is also the President of the Louisville Chapter of Students for a National Health Program (SNaHP).

Sarah is organizing an event for medical and other health professional students to be held at 12 N on Wed., Oct. 23, in Room 102 of the Instructional Bldg., 500 S. Preston, downtown Louisville. The speaker is Professor Gerald Friedman, the nation’s leading economist on the funding of single payer health care systems. http://kyhealthcare.org/…/wed-oct-23-2019-12-noon-professor…
