It's MergerWatch’s 15th Anniversary!
Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 01:25PM We are celebrating with screenings of our new film!
Our anniversary film features three of our key hospital merger cases in Kingston, NY; Troy, NY and Sierra Vista, AZ. The film captures how MergerWatch staff work with health care providers, community activists, hospital board members and women's health advocates to protect patients' rights when religious and secular hospitals are proposing to merge.
The film also features interviews with:
Frances Kissling, former president of Catholics for Choice; M. Tracey Brooks, President & CEO of Family Planning Advocates of New York State (where MergerWatch was founded); and Teresa Younger, Executive Director of the Connecticut Permanent Commission on the Status of Women (with whom we have worked on several merger cases).
Following each screening, will be a panel discussion with MergerWatch staff members, prominent advocates for women’s health and/or local merger activists.
