Patch Adams to appear at workshop

URBANA – If you think America's health care system has to continue being expensive and out of reach for a growing number of people, the Urbana-based School for Designing a Society invites you to think again.

The school, along with its like-minded partner, Dr. Patch Adams, will devote a four-day workshop next week to coming up with ideas for a sustainable health care system that serves everyone – minus the high profits being pocketed by the insurance and pharmaceutical industries.
