Johns Hopkins Health Policy Forum: A conversation with CDC Director Mandy Cohen

Description

Mandy Cohen, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Sarah Szanton, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing, discuss how to redesign the U.S. health system to shift from a focus on costly sick care to a prevention-based system that promotes whole-person care and eliminates inequities. They will also discuss how to support Neighborhood Nursing and other nurse-driven models of care that reach people where they are, consider the social determinants of health, and focus on prevention, health equity, wellness, and person-centered care.

The conversation will be hosted in-person at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center and via livestream.
