This Sunday, July 21 at 3pm, the Health Security for New Mexicans Campaign invites the public to the Bayard Community Center for a Sunday Matinee of the half-hour documentary American Hospitals: Healing a Broken System.
After the film, Hidalgo Medical Services Chief Medical Officer Isaac Saucedo will join Health Security Campaign Director Mary Feldblum for a discussion - including current initiatives here in New Mexico to address the issues it raises.
This short but powerful documentary explores our increasingly troubled hospitals. Behind all the closures, soaring prices, medical debt, bankruptcy, surprise bills, depersonalized care, provider burnout and high turnover is a fragmented system. Among other problems, health care facilities are falling increasingly into the hands of corporate ownership, a trend that many reputable studies have linked to increased costs, poorer outcomes, and control of medical decisions by non-medical personnel.

If you're interested in an A-to-Z primer on the Gila trout, plan on attending the Western Institute for Lifelong Learning (WILL) Lunch and Learn session on Wednesday, July 24th, when Eric Head, the Gila Trout Project Manager for Trout Unlimited, will speak on that subject.
Head will be giving a presentation putting the Gila trout into its historic and geographic context. He will start with a conversation about the geology that created the unique land forms of the Gila, including the super volcanoes, massive earthquakes, and ice age lakes that built up and carved out the remarkable Gila landscape. He will then move on to what we know about the evolutionary and geographic history of the Gila Trout itself, starting just before the Pleistocene Ice Age to its recent split from the closely related Apache trout. He will end with some words about modern dangers such as wildfire and invasive species and the restoration work in the Gila Forest to combat these challenges and increase Gila Trout numbers.
