His education includes graduating from Kent State University with a BSN in 1982, The Ohio State College of Medicine in 1991 and The Ohio State University emergency medicine residency in 1994. He has been a lifelong activist for social and economic justice. He is an active member of Physicians for a National Health Program and former executive board member of the Ohio Single Payer Action Network. He is a Democratic candidate for the Ohio House of Representatives District 12.

Discussion points:

• The impact of poverty on healthcare access

• Personal stories from patients in underserved communities

• Potential benefits of single-payer healthcare for addressing disparities

There will be a question-and-answer session with Dr. Cotton.

As a part of our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we strive to learn about the disparities in healthcare that exist in Ohio. By first understanding the barriers that our communities face, only then can we truly advocate for accessible, quality care for all. Join us as we delve into the challenges, learn from real experiences, and champion solutions for universal, simple, and affordable healthcare for all.
