Over the decades we have addressed accountability for segregation, discrimination and inequality. While some consciousness has been raised and progress has been made, much remains to be done. The struggle against racism, discrimination and the fight for equal opportunity remains with us today. The ULMS will enter the year 2000 with a proactive role in public policy issues, expansion of services the organization is historically known to provide, and a view to the future for African Americans, people of color and poor people. ULMS supports a patients Bill of Rights.
Medical decision belongs with individuals and their doctors.
In Seattle and King County the ULMS will respond to the public s request for our input into government commissions, appointments and political events. As the ULMS moves into the 21st century we will look for new opportunities to partner in venues to better serve our client population and all people who seek our support in Seattle. A new energy, a new century and a new opportunity to lead in the community, city and region, as well as exploring new ventures, expanding and reaching what hasn t been tried before, will be part of the ULMS agenda in the year 2000 and on.
