I wanted to make you aware of a lecture that that the School of Public Policy is hosting. The lecture will be given by Erin Dorrien, who is the Director for Policy at the Maryland Hospital Association (MHA), the state’s primary advocate for Maryland’s hospitals and health systems. In this role, she is instrumental in the development of MHA’s workforce and capacity strategies, including developing an approach to quantify the need for behavioral health services in the community. Erin also supports MHA’s strategies to increase physician and community engagement in support of Maryland’s unique Total Cost of Care Model. She will be speaking on the topic of “The Affordable Care Act’s Contraception Coverage Requirement and the Impact on the Unintended Pregnancy Rate”. The event will take place on Thursday November 7th from 4:30 to 6:30 in the Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery. 

All political science faculty and students have been invited to attend the lecture. If you are interested in learning more about the event, please see the attached flyer.
