Prescription For Bankruptcy:
America's Failing Health Care "non-system"

Why do Americans pay more than citizens of any other country for health care and yet have, at best, mediocre health outcomes? Dr. Edward Hoffer will discuss this topic, and suggest both global solutions and practical things you can do to pay less and get better care.

 

Our speaker, Edward Hoffer MD

Edward Hoffer MD is a graduate of MIT and Harvard Medical School and did his residency and fellowship at the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Dr. Hoffer has held faculty academic appointments at Harvard, the University of Massachusetts, and Boston University. He has also held appointments at several Boston hospitals (Peter Bent Brigham, Beth Israel, Boston Hospital for Women), at many Boston metro-west hospitals (in Worcestor, Natick, and Framingham), and at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. He has either authored or co-authored over 80 publications, including 8 books and dozens of refereed journal articles, many of which deal with the application of computers to various aspects of medicine and with issues within the American healthcare system (insurance, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, etc.).

For 45 years he combined clinical practice of Internal Medicine and Cardiology with research on the applications of computers and AI to medical care, and continues to work half-time at the MGH Lab of Computer Science.

He has written and lectured extensively on the problems of the American healthcare "non-system."

 

Lunch at Alberto's Ristorante

We will be returning to Alberto's Ristorante in Hyannis because of the many rave reviews we received for the food and service in the past.

There will be a cash bar and we will be offering the same entrees as before (gluten-free is available upon request). All meals include a house salad and Tartuffo dessert.

• Chicken Parmagian - Breaded chicken cutlet topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese. Served with penne pasta.
  
  
• Pork Osso Bucco - Pork shank cooked with celery, carrots, and onions in a Barolo wine sauce. Served with mashed potatoes broccoli.
  
  
• Baked Scrod - Fresh baked scrod with seasoned breadcrumbs, white wine, and lemon touch of butter. Served with pasta and vegetables.
  
  
• Farcite Napoletana (vegetarian) - Eggplant rolled & stuffed with ricotta cheese, baked with San Marzano plum tomato sauce & three cheeses. Served with penne pasta.

Join researchers from MIT’s K. Lisa Yang Global Engineering and Research (GEAR) Center as they share cutting-edge water and agriculture projects underway across the MENA region. Focused on creating solutions that can feed a growing society in the face of water stress, climate change, and energy limitations, the Yang GEAR Center has realized low-cost, renewable-powered technologies in drip irrigation and desalination that dramatically cut water and energy use while being cost effective for farmers. Now it’s time to bring them to market! Learn how the center’s pioneering approach is building resilience across the region—and how MIT alumni and friends can help drive lasting impact for low-resource communities across MENA.
