In response to President-Elect Barack Obama’s call, the VGM Group is hosting a community health-care discussion on Monday, Jan. 12, at 10:30 a.m. Central time.

The gathering will be held at VGM’s corporate headquarters in Waterloo, Iowa. VGM has invited providers and their consumers to attend.

Participants should RSVP to Jamie Blomme by Jan. 9 by calling (800) 642-6065, or by e-mailing jamie.blomme@vgm.com.

The event was originally scheduled for December, but was rescheduled due first to bad weather, then again to Jan. 12 “in an effort to work with Iowa’s Congressional members,” according to VGM.
