Network event
Fargo, N.D., Feb. 12, 2013 – Donald Warne, director of the Master of Public Health Program
at North Dakota State University, served as a keynote speaker
and panel member at the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s event
titled “American Indian Health Equity and the Affordable Care Act” on Jan. 29
in St. Paul, Minn.
U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum from
Minnesota, who serves on the House Appropriations Committee, also was a
keynote speaker at the event. Other speakers included Bethany Snyder, field
representative for U.S. Sen. Al Franken, and Ruth Parriott, senior director of
the central region for the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network. Guest panelists included Warne, Parriott and
Laurie Jensen-Wunder, chief mission officer for the Midwest division of the
American Cancer Society.
The focus of the event was to explore the impact of the Affordable
Care Act on the American Indian community. “Unfortunately,
American Indians, particularly in our region, suffer from among the worst
disparities in cancer incidence and deaths in the United States,” said Warne,
who is a member of the American Cancer Society national board of directors.
“The event with the Cancer Action Network was an outstanding opportunity to
increase awareness of these issues and discuss ways to intervene effectively.”
