With the looming cutbacks to Medicaid, safety net health systems are vital.  After three decades at County, Dr. David Schwartz explores its tumultuous history—one filled with challenge and progress.  As a young doctor, he grappled with the frustrations of witnessing sometimes indifferent medical care, which improved under strong leadership and reduced political interference.  Join us for stories of clinical care and our nation’s first blood “bank”.  Epilogue provided by Scott Fridkin, former Cook County Hospital fellow and CDC epidemiologist.
