Closing the Gap: Addressing Inequities and Building Resilience

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities in the healthcare ecosystem, highlighting inequities in access to critical resources and begging the question: who gets access and why? While the pervasiveness of these problems is not unique to the pandemic, leaders have a new found focus in addressing the gaps in access.

With a new understanding of the social drivers of health, what initiatives can be supported at corporate, government and community levels to improve the distribution of healthcare services? What role does the new presidential management agenda play in this work? In this webcast, join GovExec and National Government Services to explore the path forward for closing the gap and building the resilience of the communities that need it most.
