GOV. RITTER'S HEALTH CARE OUTREACH MEETINGS CONTINUE ACROSS STATE


Seven additional statewide community outreach meetings scheduled
 
Members of Gov. Bill Ritter's administration are scheduled to visit Steamboat Springs on Monday, continuing a statewide outreach tour to engage Coloradans in a discussion about health care reform.
 
The outreach meetings on health care reform began in Salida on Sept. 19. Meetings have also been held in Grand Junction and Durango.
