    Gingrich in town for health care workshop; Pawlenty there, too

    By Joe Kimball | Published Wed, Jul 15 2009 8:41 am

    A health care reform workshop today at the U of M will feature both Gov. Tim Pawlenty and Newt Gingrich, the former U.S. House speaker.

    Both have been mentioned as possible GOP candidates for president in 2012.

    After leaving the House more than 10 years ago, Gingrich lately has become more visible on the national scene, showing up at dinners, doing the news shows (and workshops), leading many to think he's considering a presidential run. Ditto with the governor, except for the leaving the House part. He's leaving the governorship after next year.

    Today's workshop, with many panels and discussions, is called “Creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System in Minnesota.” It starts at 11 a.m. at the U's McNamara Alumni Center.

    Among the panels: “Driving Health Information Technology Adoption,” moderated by Human Services Commissioner Cal Ludeman,  “Effective Diabetes Care” and “The Role of Wellness and Consumerism in Health Reform.”

    Then at 4 p.m., Pawlenty and Gingrich will present a panel called “The Future of Health and Health Care in Minnesota,” looking at  opportunities and strategies in the state.
