About this Event
200 Scaife Hall, Pittsburgh, PA 15261
https://www.hsls.pitt.edu/all-people-century-citizen-action-health-care-reform/11392 #HSLSHSLS is pleased to host the National Library of Medicine's traveling exhibit, For All the People: A Century of Citizen Action in Health Care Reform.
About the Exhibit:
Health care reform is often associated with presidents and national leaders, but communities, workers, activists, and health care professionals have made their voices heard in the debate about whether and how to make quality health care available to all. This exhibit tells the story of how movements of ordinary citizens helped shape the changing American health care system.
