Join Mary Pittman Virtually at Kaiser’s “Public Health and the Delivery System: Vital Connections”

Public Health and the Delivery System: Vital Connections

November 29 & December 2, 2021

How are public health department and delivery system leaders successfully navigating the pandemic response? How can we support an effective public health system, now and for the future?

Join us for a two part virtual forum from Kaiser Permanente’s Institute for Health Policy, featuring Dr. Mary Pittman, President and CEO of the Public Health Institute; Greg A. Adams, CEO of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan; Anthony A. Barrueta, Senior Vice President of Government Relations for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and PHI Board member, and more.

In this forum series, participants and panelists will:

• Discuss opportunities to strengthen partnerships and collaboration between public health and the broader health care delivery system.
• Identify the barriers public health and delivery system leaders face – including financial, workforce, and infrastructure challenges – and discuss ways to ensure a well-financed and supported public health system in the future.
• Lift up promising policy solutions to promote and improve our public health system in ways that address public health needs and advance health equity.
