A
Message from the Section
Chair
Welcome o the Health Law Section of the
Federal Bar Association, a resource for practitioners in the field of
health care law.
I am writing to solicit participation and encourage involvement in the
section in an attempt to re-vitalize it. We are in a transitional process
and need your help. Our goal is to provide a forum where practitioners
representing the spectrum of the health care industry can exchange information
and discuss issues affecting health care delivery as well as to provide
outreach to beneficiaries and providers on the regulatory and transactional
aspects of health care related issues.
As a first step in re-forming the section, the Health Law Section bylaws
were re-written to permit a broader committee structure. (Click
here for bylaws.) Now I need volunteers to serve on committees and
sub-committees. If you feel that we need additional committees, please
let me know and we can create an ad hoc committee. I would eventually
like to see the Health Law Section offer programming and begin a newsletter
addressing matters of law, medicine, public health and bioethics. Current
public and private initiatives in the administration of health care certainly
generate enough complex legal and ethical issues for material. Our membership
is varied and talented. My goal is to tap that resource and generate a
collaborative integration of insights garnered from history, law, medicine,
philosophy, and the social sciences. So, please pick a committee and help
me out. Any other suggestions or ideas are more than welcome. Please respond
to dawnliebfba@yahoo.com. I
look forward to hearing from you.
