COVID, Compassion and Politics

Identification: GS5

This country is experiencing a decline in health not seen for a hundred years. Life expectancy is going down and mortality going up. The public is mostly unaware. What can health care workers do? What they are best at: communicating and caring. We need strong 'medicine' to reverse our health decline. This will require disclosing the problem, and galvanizing support for major changes in the richest and most powerful country in world history.

Speaker(s):

• Dr. Stephen Bezruchka, MD, MPH, Senior Lecturer, School of Public Health, University of Washington
• Sunniva Zaratkiewicz, PhD, RN, CWCN, Asst. Administrator, Harborview Medical Center
