Whereas The University of Pennsylvania Medical Healthcare System is a national leader as a healthcare provider and
Whereas we the undersigned members of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Healthcare System, pledge to use our influence, prestige, power and authority and create a planning committee to organize, design and distribute a petition nationwide to all medical healthcare providers and supporters and
Whereas these providers would include but not be limited to the following: private practitioners, nurses, hospitals, medical centers, health clinics, nursing homes, hospices, veterinarians, social workers, psychiatrists, psychologists, pharmacists, medical technicians, laboratory technicians, medical researchers, therapists, dentists as well as the schools and training centers that teach these professions, their trainees and students and
