Peterson to host health care meetings

Minnesota 7th District Congressman Collin Peterson will host two public round-table discussions on how to control health care spending while improving access to quality care.

The events will begin with a panel of local stakeholders and experts who will make brief statements that will be followed by a moderated panel discussion, with questions from the audience to begin at that point.

The public is invited to attend and participate.
