Part I: Saturday, Dec 12 Part II: Saturday, Dec 19 • 9am-12pm ET for participants in ET and CT time zones • 11am-2pm PT for participants in MT and PT time zones • Need to attend both parts to receive gift card There have been many debates about the ideal future for healthcare in the United States. These debates have often involved experts and advocates but not the everyday people. This focus group study is about everyday people—people of diverse age, race/ethnicity, gender, education, income, and occupations and living in rural, urban, or suburban areas in different regions of the United States who are currently under or not represented in the conversation. Add Your Voice! What do you think of the healthcare in the U.S.? What research and advances should the healthcare system prioritize? What are your hopes, values, and concerns for robust healthcare? Join in and share your views about healthcare and advances in research. You will meet fellow community members, share your views, and engage in thoughtful discussions. No prior knowledge is required. There are no incorrect answers—every viewpoint is welcome and wanted! Apply Now! Applicants must be 18 years old or older and commit to attend BOTH part I and II. About 30 to 35 participants will be selected from the applicant pool based on a number of factors in order to ensure a diversity of experiences and views among our participant group. Only selected participants who attend both Parts I and II (6 hours total) will receive a $150 American Express gift card two weeks after completion. Applications are due December 6, 2020. Selected applicants will be notified during the week of December 7th by email.
