2012 Anchor & Caduceus Dinner
The 2012 Anchor & Caduceus Dinner was a success! RADM Kenneth Moritsugu, USPHS (ret), former Acting Surgeon General, presented the Dr. C. Everett Koop Honorary lecture on June 19, 2012 at the University of Maryland, College Park. His remarks provided an overview of the key elements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that impact on the office of the U.S. Surgeon General and the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS). The talk looked at the challenges and opportunities the law poses. Surveys have documented a need for a greater understanding of the impact of PPACA on PHS officers and what steps they need to take in response to it. Dr. Moritsugu's timely lecture was well-received by the large audience.
The event was sponsored by the PHS Commissioned Officers Foundation for the Advancement of Public Health (COF) in partnership with the University of Maryland School of Public Health and the Indian Health Clinical Support Center.
