Public Health Forum

In the wake of a once in a generation pandemic the focus of the nation’s public health system has been forced to shift. As the pandemic recedes, holes in the existing public health infrastructure are forcing the hands of officials. How are agency leaders, tech innovators and public health officials coming together to continue to address COVID-19, as well as broader systemic challenges to health infrastructure? How can leaders balance the need for resilience in the face of sustained workforce shortages? How can public health officials navigate the amplified opioid epidemic as well as the realities of continued mental and physical health concerns following decades of underfunding? Where can future funding be best allocated to account for health equity?
