The eighth COVID-19 Conversations webinar will discuss how to best mitigate direct
and indirect impacts of COVID-19 over the coming summer months, including continuing
economic challenges, addressing the "health debt" accrued from months
of prioritization of urgent care, preparing for concurrent emergencies like hurricanes
and wildfires as COVID-19 remains a threat, and protecting vulnerable populations from violence and disorder.

- Adjunct Professor, Emory University Rollins School of Public Health
and Lecturer, Yale School of Medicine
-

Senior Fellow, Wharton School Boettner Chair Professor, and Faculty Director,
Penn Wharton Budget Model, Wharton School
- Ateev Mehrotra, MD, MPH - Associate Professor, Department
of Health Care Policy, Harvard Medical School; Physician, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the webinar audience.
