Community Meeting with Dr. Catherine Wilkerson
On Sunday, February 10, 2008, Dr. Catherine Wilkerson was told not to come to work at the Packard Community Clinic anymore. She was not given any opportunity to discuss her departure with her patients. Dr. Wilkerson was fired for political activities outside of work on her personal time and for wanting to negotiate concerning contract terms that would have arbitrarily restricted those political activities. Today, Dr. Wilkerson is working with community members to try to convince the clinic's Governing Board to reinstate her and to stop the political targeting of her by Dr. Ray Rion and Kim Kratz. You are invited to attend a community gathering to meet and talk with Dr. Wilkerson and her supporters about her firing and what we can do about it. As Dr. Wilkerson likes to say, "An injury to one is an injury to all." For more information, call (734) 761-9901, go to defendwilkerson.org, or send e-mail to cwilkersonmd@sbcglobal.net
