Our distinguished panel will feature Sandro Galea, Washington University Dean of the School of Public Health; Timothy D. McBride, Professor in the School of Public Health; Lanhee J. Chen, policy scholar and former presidential advisor; and Melanie Fontes Rainer, former Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Together, these experts will explore the shifting landscape of American health care, examining emerging reforms, persistent inequities, and the opportunities for meaningful, bipartisan progress.

This conversation aims to move past predictable talking points and create space for thoughtful, solution-oriented dialogue at a moment of profound national change. The panelists will highlight areas of common ground while engaging honestly with the tensions and trade-offs that shape U.S. health policy today.
