by Pat Armstrong, Barbara Clow, Karen Grant, Margaret Haworth-Brockman, Beth Jackson, Ann Pederson and Morgan Seeley

Thursday Feb. 9, 2012 at 7 p.m.
Collected Works Bookstore & Coffeebar, 1242 Wellington Street West, Ottawa

Come and join the authors for a warm drink and refreshments as we celebrate the work of Women and Health Care Reform!

The book is also available through the Women's Press website [3].

Thinking Women and Health Care Reform in Canada starts with the understanding  that health care is a women’s issue. Written by members of Women and Health Care Reform, a national working group housed within the National Network on Environments and Women’s Health, the collection points to the importance of including gender in health sector decision-making. The book looks at such issues as obesity, maternity care, mental health of health care workers, and private health insurance through a gendered lens.
