Civil Rights Commission to Host Public Forum on Disparities in Access to Quality Health Care The forum offers an opportunity for members of the Commission and the general public to learn about the barriers that Michigan residents face when seeking health care, especially those barriers related to race, religion, sex, age, physical and mental disabilities, color, national origin, or marital status. The Commission is interested in part because of the link between prevention and early detection and positive health outcomes following serious illness. "Access to health care is particularly important because so many other things we enjoy in life - work, family, freedom, personal interests - all depend on the foundation of good health. Good health care helps to assure our quality of life,¨ said Civil Rights Commissioner Lisa Peeples-Hurst. 5:30pm Capital Area Michigan Works Building 2110 S.
