Join U.S. News & World Report for a discussion about public health policy in the time of the coronavirus pandemic and intensifying awareness of racism as an urgent public health issue. Hear insights from Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association; Leana Wen, an emergency physician and visiting professor of health policy and management at George Washington University’s Milken School of Public Health, who previously served as health commissioner for the city of Baltimore; and Anand Parekh, chief medical advisor for the Bipartisan Policy Center, who previously served as deputy assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and worked on a range of public health and policy issues, including emergency preparedness for pandemic influenza. As the country reopens, how are officials balancing health priorities with policy and economic concerns? What lessons can be learned from responses at the local, state and national levels that might mitigate harm in the future? How can we address systemic racism and the serious health inequities that result? Participants: --Georges C.
