A Wonderful Early Success of the New Legislation Allowing OR Access… Big Time.

Listen in to our expert colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Kahl, as he tells the story of his work combined with that of many in implementing massively improved OR access in the State of Colorado. For years we have struggled to get our most vulnerable patients into the OR and given the recent legislation success after years of work by the AAPD, the ADA and others, we have great results. Jeff tells the personal story and provides a guide for others to have similar success in their communities.
