Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse will host a community dinner Sunday to hear from constituents about problems with the nation's health care system and their ideas on how to solve them.

The dinner will be at 5 p.m. at the Tri-City Elks Lodge, 1915 West Shore Road, Warwick.

Those wanting to attend should call Whitehouse's Rhode Island office at 453-5294, send an e-mail or visit Whitehouse's Web site .

In a statement, the Rhode Island Democrat said he often hears from constituents "whose lives and whose health have collided with our broken, dysfunctional health care system."

"Now that we have a new president and a new commitment to make reforming health care a priority, I want to bring these stories with me to Washington and make sure Rhode Island's voice is heard as we begin this critical debate."
