Public Health On Call Live: What's At Stake In The 2024 Election
Join Bloomberg School faculty for a panel conversation and Q&A about what’s at stake for public health with the 2024 presidential election.
The last eight years have been uniquely challenging for public health.
A global pandemic, a supercharged Supreme Court regulating reproductive and environmental health, and rising threats from infectious diseases, violence, and climate have all stressed an already fractured and largely underfunded system. But there have also been incredible opportunities and wins from COVID-19 vaccines to Medicaid/Medicare expansions and a promising new infrastructure bill. All of this has taken place across two very different administrations. The 2024 election finds public health at a moment with unique opportunities and threats.
Join the Public Health On Call podcast and Bloomberg School faculty—whose expertise includes health policy, preventing gun violence, immigration, and legislating reproductive health—for a panel conversation and Q&A about what’s at stake for public health with the 2024 presidential election.
This is a hybrid event. Tune in to the webinar.
Please submit questions for the panelists before Thursday, October 10 to publichealthquestion@jhu.edu.
