About this Event
Dear Members,
Please join us for our next Donors' Forum meeting, which will be held on Tuesday, December 17, 2024. It will be a hybrid meeting: We will meet both on Zoom and in person. The in-person gathering, courtesy of Franck Litzler, will take place at the offices of Merrill Lynch at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, on the 5th Floor. The sign-up directions for both the Zoom connection and the in-person attendees are below.
The meeting will run from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. (EDT) We begin and end precisely on time. Please note: We record our discussions and archive them on our website, so that they will be available in the future.
Our guest will be Betsy McCaughey, the founder and Chairman of the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths (also known as RID), a nationwide educational campaign to stop hospital-acquired infections.RID has made hospital infections a major public issue. It has provided compelling evidence that preventing infection improves hospital profitability as well as saving lives, and RID has won legislation in 37 states and Washington, D.C. for public reporting of infection rates. RID has become synonymous with patient safety and clean hospital care.Betsy is a patient advocate, health policy expert, and former Lt. Governor of New York State.She is the author of more than one hundred scholarly and popular articles on health policy, infection, and Medicare. Her 1994 analysis of the dangers of the Clinton health plan in The New Republic won a National Magazine Award for the best article in the nation on public policy. Her most recent healthcare publication is The Next Pandemic, (Encounter Books, 2020).Betsy's research on how to prevent infection deaths has been featured on Good Morning America, the CBS Morning Show, ABC’s 20/20, and many other national programs.Our timing to have Betsy with us is fortunate because, in addition to learning about the nonprofit she runs, we will hear her insights as a new administration proposes new policies on health care.You can learn more about Betsy McCaughey here.
As always, those who join us will engage in an interactive, discussion-oriented format. Doug White, a thought leader on nonprofits and philanthropy, whose most recent book is "Wounded Charity" (2019), is the moderator.
