Health Reform and Climate Change: A Duke Collaboration Symposium

Interested in the nexus of climate change, policy, and health? Join the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy and Duke University School of Medicine on Wednesday, October 1 from 9 a.m.-3:45 p.m. ET for the fourth installment of the Duke Climate Collaboration Symposia series: “Health Reform and Climate Change: Policy Reforms to Improve Health System Sustainability and Population Health.”

This all-day symposium is a hybrid event and open to all; advance registration is required. Follow along online as we livestream the day’s expert panel discussions—or attend in-person at the Fuqua School of Business and get the bonus of participating in our networking lunch and connecting with expert panelists! The symposium will focus on opportunities for health care to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions and implement reforms to mitigate the health impacts of climate change while simultaneously addressing the challenges of affordability, access, and population health.

The day will also include a keynote address from Bill Frist (The Nature Conservancy and Former Senate Majority Leader) as well as a fireside chat between Frist, Victor Dzau (National Academy of Medicine), and Mark McClellan (Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy).
