Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare examines a medical industry designed for quick fixes rather than prevention, for profit-driven disease care rather than patient-driven health care. The film bares the frustration and sorrow of patients, doctors, and leaders struggling to receive, give, and compensate dignified care. The film also showcases innovative approaches that buck the status quo and hold potential for transforming the industry. This riveting and thought-provoking film has won numerous awards. A discussion will follow the film.

Interested in public health? This info session will inform you about global heath and public health opportunities at Midd, including the Global Health minor, study abroad and study opportunities, and graduate school preparation. There will be a short presentation followed by Q&A.
