This coming Sunday, August 2, we are lucky to host Dr. Nancy Lanthorn who will speak on her recent trip to Cuba for the purposes of learning more about a strong health system in an impoverished country. Here's her synopsis:
"In Feburary, 2009, Dr. Lanthorn spent ten days in Cuba visiting various urban and rural facilities in three different areas to observe the Cuban health care system and the mental health care delivery system. She met with physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers and observed them at work. Although the educational system was another interest, there was not time to visit schools except at the University Level. She has prepared a program which provides highlights from this trip and will contrast the Cuban system with that of the United States. "
As a brief bio:
"Dr. Nancy Lanthorn is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing in Johnson City, Tn. After completing the program at the University of Wyoming and an internship at the Greater Kansas City Mental Health Foundation, Dr. Lanthorn worked for an educational cooperative with four school systems before entering private practice. Since then, she has practiced in Kingsport, Colonial Heights, Gray and Johnson City. "
Please join us. You'll be very welcomed.
