Creating a Shared Future: Eliminating Bias in Treatment and Access


12:00pm - 3:30pm

Register

Join us for our upcoming Policy Consortium, “Creating a Shared Future: Eliminating Bias in Treatment and Access.”  In this virtual meeting, we will explore the barriers that stand between so many patients and communities and the significant advances in treatment and care that have extended the lives of so many people with cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses. These disparities range from the costs of new therapies to the increasing unavailability of specialized care in rural communities and financialization of the health care system.
There is no charge for this event but you must register.

Keynote Speaker: Donald M. Berwick, MD, MPP

Lecturer of Health Care Policy, Department of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School; President Emeritus and Senior Fellow, Institute for Healthcare Improvement; Former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
