Posted: February 5, 2015
Christopher Halliday, DDS, MPH, dean, A.T. Still University-Missouri School of Dentistry & Oral Health, and ATSU President Craig Phelps, DO, ’84, were part of a select group of community and public health leaders invited to the U.S. Surgeon General’s House Calls Listening Tour held on January 29 at University of Kansas Medical Center. Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, is hosting the tour at selected locations across the country to discuss healthcare challenges and work with healthcare organizations to improve the nation’s health.
“Dr. Murthy opened the meeting by giving brief remarks about the importance of increasing access to care and decreasing health disparities then proceeded with inviting the representatives for questions and comments,” said Dr. Halliday. “Although Dr. Phelps and I were unable to ask our prepared questions, due to time running out, it was a great opportunity for us to represent ATSU and network with other academic and healthcare organizations as well as federal healthcare leadership.”
