DESCRIPTION:The 22nd Annual Picchi Memorial Lecture presents "No Decisions About Me Without Me: Shared Decision Making in Healthcare" Guest Lecturer Shannon Brownlee, MS Thursday, February 16, 2012 6:00 PM Health Education Center 400 Hawthorne Avenue Oakland, CA  Please view the event flyer for more information or to RSVP. Shannon Brownlee, MS, is acting director of the New America Health Policy Program. A nationally known writer and essayist whose work has appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, New York Times Magazine, The New Republic, Slate, Time, Washington Monthly, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and the British medical journal BMJ among many other publications, she is best known for her groundbreaking work on avoidable health care, the patchy quality of medical evidence, and the implications for health care policy. Her book, Overtreated: Why Too Much Medicine is Making Us Sicker and Poorer, was named the best economics book of 2007 by New York Times economics correspondent David Leonhardt. Brownlee's current research and writing focus on issues surrounding delivery system reform, clinical evidence, and health care costs. Brownlee holds a master's degree in marine science from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and was named one of the 45 most influential graduates of the university in 2010, the 45th anniversary of the campus' founding. In 2009 she was named one of four writers who changed the world by the World Federation of Science Journalists. The Annual Picchi Memorial Lecture is made possible by the generosity of colleagues, friends and students of the late Dr. Joseph Picchi and his wife, Mary. Dr. Picchi was an energetic and beloved physician who prized health education. Mary Picchi was a licensed clinical social worker who dedicated her life to helping developmentally disabled adults. Both Dr. and Mrs. Picchi firmly believed that education is the most powerful form of preventive medicine. Proceeds from the Picchi Memorial Lecture Series are used to inform and enlighten the community on a broad variety of medical topics. The Picchi Collection of health information is open to the public-at-large and is located in the John A. Graziano Memorial Library at the Health Education Center on the Samuel Merritt University campus in Oakland.  --- Visit www.samuelmerritt.edu/smu_events/2012/22nd-annual-picchi-memorial-lecture-no-decisions-about-me-without-me-shared for more info.
