The PEI Health Coalition invites you to a Public Meeting: “Profiting from Healthcare, What’s the Problem?” at 7:00 pm Tuesday, April 23 in the Lecture Theatre of Colonel Gray High School, 175 Spring Park Road, Charlottetown. Guest Speaker is Dr. Pat Armstrong, distinguished research professor and writer, York University. Dr. Armstrong is very concerned about the way profit seeking companies are taking over so much of our public health delivery. Universal healthcare is a wonderful example of a country practicing together the second great commandment, “Love your neighbour as yourself.”
