Residents can discuss their views of the state’s health care, and leaders plan to form a bi-partisan committee on health care reform.

The panel will also seek to reduce health spending growth while still improving health. The event is also held to eliminate health disparities in all Minnesota communities.

Participants can continue the conversations with policy leaders and other citizens online at www.citizensolve.org.

People interested in attending should RSVP for the free event to info@chambermn.com or 507-776-4120.
