SUMMARY:Will RFK Jr. Make America Healthy Again?
DESCRIPTION:“Will RFK Jr. Make America Healthy Again?” is presented by the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism. \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout the event: Robert F. Kennedy\, Jr. is the most controversial pick to become the nation’s health secretary in modern history. He has spent decades spreading misinformation and fears about vaccines and the myth they cause autism\, he’s voiced skepticism that HIV causes AIDs\, and he’s suggested a link between school shootings and growing use of antidepressants. RKF Jr.’s confirmation signals major changes at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He’s vowed to shift the federal government’s focus from infectious diseases toward an “epidemic” of chronic diseases\, such as obesity and autoimmune conditions — with a particular focus on processed foods and chemical exposures. The political\, legal and economic challenges facing him — from Democrats\, doctors\, researchers and business leaders — will be formidable\, and Kennedy lacks prior government or health leadership experience. In this webinar\, we will examine what Kennedy’s arrival at HHS will mean for the American health system and key federal agencies such as the FDA\, CDC and NIH that would fall under his purview. We’ll ask how this unorthodox appointment will impact our public health system and access to vaccines. And we’ll discuss how the ambitions of the “Make American Healthy Movement” might confront the realities of America’s “epidemic” of chronic disease. \nFeatured Speakers:  \n– Dan Gorenstein\, founder and executive editor of Tradeoffs\n– Isabella Cueto\, chronic disease reporter at STAT\n– James Hodge\, JD\, Peter Kiewit Foundation Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and director of the Center for Public Health Law and Policy at Arizona State University

SUMMARY:Healing at Home: Pandemic Lessons and the Future of Home Care
DESCRIPTION:For the first time ever\, Medicare started reimbursing for “hospital-at-home” in late 2020\, leading hundreds of hospitals to sign up to deliver care in their patients’ homes. It’s part of a pandemic-fueled movement to push more care beyond the four walls of the hospital or clinic.  Join Tradeoffs for a virtual event that brings together administrators\, clinicians\, insurers\, regulators\, patients\, and others with direct experience in at-home care (Is that you? See below for how you can join the conversation). We’ll share what we’ve learned about hospital at home from the past two years and what it tells us about the future of home-based care across the continuum — from hospital at home to long-term care to primary care. \nHost and moderator:\nDan Gorenstein\, Founder and Executive Editor of Tradeoffs. \nFeatured guests:\nBruce Leff\, MD\, Director\, The Center for Transformative Geriatric Research at Johns Hopkins\nMona Siddiqui\, MD\, MPH\, MSE\, Senior Vice President for Clinical Operations\, Humana Home Solutions\nMelanie Mercurio\, Caregiver and spouse of Hospital at Home patient\nApril J. Odom\, MSN\, APRN-FPA\, CRRN\, FNP-BC\, Family Nurse Practitioner \nYou:\nThis event will be different from the usual panel discussion in that we will make space throughout the conversation for people with direct experiences with at-home care to share what they’ve learned. If that’s you\, please answer these two questions\, and we might feature you in the event. \n  \nTradeoffs coverage of issues facing older Americans is supported in part by The SCAN Foundation — advancing a coordinated and easily navigated system of high-quality services for older adults that preserve dignity and independence.
