For the third year running, Grand Valley State University's Autumn Health Forums will tackle some of today's biggest health care issues.
The Autumn Health Forums are a series of discussions that focus attention on health care topics of interest to both the general public and health care professionals. The forums are intended to provide an informative, interesting and sometimes provocative way to explore some of the leading health care issues of the day. An informative question-and-answer session follows each session.
The forums are from noon to 1 p.m. in the DeVos Center's Loosemore Auditorium on Grand Valley's Pew Grand Rapids Campus.
