HEALTH CARE CRISIS
Half of all Americans have inadequate health insurance and 47 million have
none. Lack of coverage and high premiums are a crisis for many individuals
and families. How is the Catholic Church responding? What are the moral

improve health care access and affordability? Join us on Sunday, June 1,
at 7 pm for “A Catholic Response to the Crisis in Affordable Health
Care,” given by S. Joan Steadman, CSC, Associate Director of Health
Care Ethics for the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara
University. This free program will be held at the St. Athanasius Parish
Hall, 160 N. Rengstorff Ave., Mountain View. For more information contact
