Health Policy in America: A Look at the Current State of Play at HHS and the CDC

Join us for lunch with Dawn O’Connell, former Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) for Preparedness and Response, and Rochelle Walensky, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as they discuss the nation’s health infrastructure and the current state of play at both HHS and the CDC. What does it all mean for the future of medical research, vaccines, public health preparedness, and so much more.
