How young adults will be affected by the federal Affordable Care Act is the focus of a forum April 17 at CSU Monterey Bay. The public is invited to this free event.

“Healthcare Town Hall for Young Adults” will be held in the University Center living room at 5:30 p.m. The University Center is located on Sixth Avenue at B Street.

A panel of local specialists in the health care field and insurance industry as well as policymakers will discuss what college students and other young people need to know about upcoming changes. Panelists include Supervisor Jane Parker; Elliott Robinson, director of Monterey County's Department of Employment and Social Services; and Caroline Haskell, director of health and wellness services at CSUMB.

Driving directions and a campus map can be downloaded at csumb.edu/map. While the event is free, a parking permit must be purchased from a nearby dispenser.
