Rob Davidson, (D) an emergency physician running for the Second Congressional District in West Michigan, today announced that he is holding a healthcare town hall in Wyoming on Aug. 14.
The Wyoming event will be held at Joy Like a River church (Ministerios Ríos de Agua Viva) at 1841 Havana Ave. SW, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 14. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The event is free.
Davidson hosted a similar event in Zeeland on July 30 with around 200 people attending.
“We were not expecting such a huge turnout for our event in Zeeland, and what that showed us was how important healthcare is to everyone in West Michigan, so that’s why we’re doing a second event for more folks to share their thoughts and concerns,” Davidson said. “Republicans, Democrats and independents filled every seat and stood along the walls for two hours to discuss healthcare in an honest, spirited yet respectful way. People talked about Congress taking healthcare away from patients with preexisting conditions, raising the prices of prescription drugs, taking away lifesaving services such as mammograms and prenatal and maternity care. I appreciated hearing from people, both those who agree with me as well as those who disagree.”
Because seating may be limited, those interested in attending are asked to RSVP by calling 231-375-2131 or registering online.
The Wyoming forum aims to provide a platform for citizens to hear and share their healthcare stories, and discuss policies and best practices that can help address healthcare challenges. according to materials supplied by the Committee .
