SUMMARY:Green Sanctuary Fourth Friday Film
DESCRIPTION:Green Sanctuary Fourth Friday Film  “Power to Heal shows both
  the destructive legacy of racism in American health care and the potentia
 l for collective action to redress these wrongs. We should be inspired by 
 Medicare’s role in desegregating our nation’s hospitals\, and should i
 nsist on further reform…to address the systemic racism that plagues pati
 ents of color to this day.” Dr. Claudia Fegan\, National Coordinator\, P
 hysicians for a National Health Program\n\nAs we as a society continue to 
 struggle with persistent\, systemic racism and the urgent need for univers
 al\, affordable healthcare\, Fourth Friday will take a close look at a lit
 tle known\, but remarkable connection between the two issues.\n\nPower to 
 Heal recounts a poignant chapter in the historic struggle to secure equal 
 and adequate access to healthcare for all Americans. Central to the story 
 is the tale of how a new national program\, Medicare\, was used to mount a
  dramatic\, coordinated effort that desegregated thousands of hospitals ac
 ross the country in a matter of months.\n\nBefore Medicare\, disparities i
 n access to hospital care were dramatic. Less than half the nation’s hos
 pitals served black and white patients equally\, and in the South\, 1/3 of
  hospitals would not admit African-Americans even for emergencies.\n\nUsin
 g the carrot of Medicare dollars\, the federal government virtually ended 
 the practice of racially segregating patients\, doctors\, medical staffs\,
  blood supplies\, and linens. Power to Heal illustrates how Movement leade
 rs and grass-roots volunteers pressed and worked with the federal governme
 nt to achieve a greater measure of justice and fairness for African-Americ
 ans.\n\nAfter the film\, we hope you stay to reflect together on the film 
 and the lessons it might have for the continuing struggles for social just
 ice and equal access to healthcare.\n\nFilms are shown on the fourth Frida
 y of the month on a variety of topics and themes in the Fireside Room sta
 rting at 7:30 pm. Check out the TransitionPaloAlto website: https://trans
 itionpaloalto.org/projects/friday-night-movies/ for the title of the mont
 hly film\, or call the church office.\n\nA typical agenda is to gather at
  7:15 pm for social time\; the film starts at 7:30 pm with a discussion f
 ollowing. Suggested donation is $5 – $10 to cover film costs and venue.
