The Weitzman Institute Virtual Symposium provided a unique opportunity to hear from some of the nation’s top thought leaders, researchers, clinicians, and entrepreneurs who are leading efforts in the Institute’s key priority areas: Social Determinants of Health, Health Systems Optimization and Transformation, and Workforce Development.
