Abstract
Recent events have tested almost every aspect of our healthcare system, forcing us to think and act in bold new ways. Health policy is taking center stage, opening new conversations about what we can and should be doing in order to preserve health and protect our communities.
With the benefit of this new perspective, it's time to take a fresh look at policies regarding health insurance, reimbursement, social services and public health initiatives that support community health and education.
Join our Interim Dean Billy Oglesby for a frank and lively discussion with health policy expert and our Emeritus Dean David B. Nash.
