We regret to inform you that Professor Gail Henderson, the 4th keynote speaker of the 2008 Health Communication Series (15 March 2008), has to cancel her trip to Hong Kong due to sudden illness in the U.S. She was advised by her doctors to cancel all her travel plans because of her poor health condition.

Professor Henderson was going to address some research experiences and ideas in her speech. To retain the spirit of her original plan the 4th Keynote Speech will be converted to an open forum on health communication research.

Brief remarks will be made by designated guests at the beginning of the forum, followed by interaction and discussions among all participants which we hope different research ideas, experiences and perspectives will eventually be unveiled and shared.

Participants of the forum will include:

Prof Jane D. Brown, James L. Knight Professor, School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
