"Public Health in Monroe County: Learning from the Past and Preparing for the Future"

Description: The pandemic put public health on the mainstage. To some we did well, to some we did not do enough, and to some we overstepped our bounds. In this presentation, Dr. Mendoza will reflect – and encourage participants to reflect – on the value of public health especially as we consider addressing the omnipresent challenges of poverty and racism.
