Bollinger will discuss the prevention and wellness aspects of the new Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the local Community Health Improvement Plan—a blueprint for local community action to improve health and address health disparities.
Meetings are held on the first and third Thursday of every month from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Syracuse, 5833 East Seneca Turnpike, Jamesville. The meetings are open to anyone who is retired or semi-retired.
