Health Care Consumer Confidence Index Released
The new Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Care
Consumer Confidence Index, developed in conjunction
with researchers at SHADAC, was released on June 18.
The Index provides an indicator of the health access
concerns of the American people, including recent
health care barriers and concerns for the future,
such as worries about losing insurance coverage or
being able to pay for health care expenses. This
Index, to be released monthly, is expected to
provide a unique perspective on consumer sentiment
as federal health reform discussion/legislation
evolves. The RWJF Index, methodology and results is
available at
www.rwjf.org/confidence.
Annual MHA Member Meeting and Inaugural Golf
Tournament
 The new Alumni Association board of directors was
announced at our annual meeting that was held at
White Bear Yacht Club after our inaugural golf
tournament. There were almost 70 golfers and
volunteers on the course during the day and more
than 100 people attended the evening dinner and
annual meeting. It was particularly gratifying to
know that alumni came from all over the country to
attend the event and that we had 11 faculty members
present to play golf or to attend the evening
session. As mentioned by Bill Kreykes (MHA ’66),
this was the largest number of faculty at an alumni
association event that he could remember. Through
the generous support of sponsors and alumni,
approximately $50,000 was raised to support the
scholarships, regional meetings (including the
annual fishing trip) and operations of the AA/F. Division hosts student paper

For the 14th Annual Minnesota Health Services
